Notes
This is a radical re-appraisal of how air power developed in Britain before and during the war. Gone are the archetypal images of conservative army generals refusing to accept the new aerial weapon. Baughan shows that even before the outbreak of the war, the army had appreciated the potential of the aeroplane. He describes how, during the war, air support evolved to a level of efficiency that would not be attained again by the RAF until the closing stages of World War 2. This is a book of new thinking on the air war, and is well worth considering.
