Why read it?
1 author picked RAF On the Offensive as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Greg Baughen had written over a million words on the evolving role and functions of the Royal Air Force from its foundation in 1918 to the post-second world war period, then decided to find a publisher!

From Vic's list on modern military aviation.
