4.9/5 (30372 ratings)

Description:Wing Commander Norman Macmillan's reputation as an historian of the 1914-18 air war already stands high. His own experiences as a pilot on the Western Front, as he related in his book 'Into the Blue', is a classic among books about the period. 'OFFENSIVE PATROL', the first full-length account of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), Royal Flying Corps (RFC), and Royal Air Force (RAF) in North Italy 1917-18, is based on the author's first-hand experiences, on his worldwide correspondence, on his knowledge of and friendship with many who fought in the Italian campaign, and on research over many years during which he has carefully cross-checked the facts. The extensive appendices are a unique presentation of original material; many of the photographs have never been reproduced. Authentic history is therefore coupled with stirring narrative as the author weaves into a living pattern the men, machines, and events of those early years of flying. This truthful presentation of a scarcely known, most gallant part of the First World War --- where RFC/RAF pilots claimed combat gains of nine to one over losses --- will be treasured by all who believe this to be the most absorbing period in aviation's history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
