Seventy years ago, on 13th April 1912, the Royal Flying Corps was constituted by a Royal Warrant of King George V. This aerial fighting force emerged only just in time, for the first World War erupted in August 1914. This book tells the story of the RFC and the RAF in both words and pictures, from the earliest days of ballooning, through man-lifting kites and the earliest flimsy aircraft, to the supersonic Tornado multi-role combat aircraft of today. This book is lavishly illustrated with archive photographs and many from private collections, some published here for the first time. This book will be of immense interest to historians and modellers and those with an interest in the history of aviation. Ref TFC. Seller Inventory # 032996
