In addition to the Royal Fighting Corps and RAF aspect this volume covers the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) and Belgian Air Service (AMB) as well as the German Naval Air Service. “[This book] is well-illustrated with both recent and historic photos and exudes the author’s knowledge of, and delight in, his subject.” —Warships International “I have championed this series before as the perfect aeronautical travelling companion for journeys across to France from the UK, and this new addition does nothing to diminish my enthusiasm for them.” —Aviation News
