Courage in the Skies

This collection of aerial epics has been written by two of the Royal Air Force's best-known wartime leaders. Illustrated, the book features military and naval air operations from the open-cockpit fighting of World War I to the recent high technology encounters of Operation Desert Storm. The allies' devastating day and night bombing offensive in World War II stands side by side with advanced aircraft development and sophisticated weaponry of Korea and Vietnam, the Israeli Wars and the Falklands. Spanning 75 years, this book is a compendium of 20th century warfare.
