Royal Flying Corps 1915-1916 (1969) By Christopher Cole
 
World War I saw the birth of large-scale aerial warfare. Fighting in a new element with untried weapons, pilots had to learn their combat skills in the heat of battle. During the first years of the war, the mainspring of British operations in the air was the Royal Flying Corps: founded in 1912, the R.F.C. soon developed its own strong identity, and from July 1915 onwards weekly communique of squadron activities were published. Based on the pilot's own reports, the concise, factual terms of this communique tell a remarkable story of heroism and daring -- an unrivaled contemporary record of Britain's achievements in her first experience of war in the air.
