Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Ex library copy with stamps, stickers and protective plastic covering. Minor wear to book corners. Please see images for more information.

The RAAF and the Flying Squadrons provides a concise history of all the flying squadrons that have made up the Australian Flying Corps and the Royal Australian Air Force, from the feats of the airforce on its first overseas mission in the Suez in 1916 up to 2000.

Comprehensive in its coverage, it includes little known squadrons that were in existence for only a short time during World War II when the RAAF became, for a time, the fourth largest air force in the world.

The book draws upon a wide range of archival sources as well as information from ex squadron members to give a complete and detailed account of every squadron's history. (book flap)
