Wings of Empire - The Forgotten Wars of the Royal Air Force 1919-1939
Barry Renfrew
Using the radical strategy of air control, the RAF tried to subdue vast swathes of the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Wings of Empire is a compelling account of the colonial air campaigns that saw a generation of young airmen take to the skies to battle against warlords, jihadists and hostile tribes.
