WAR MISSION OF RAF

Summary: Fourty superb full colour paintings accompanied by detailed background narratives, show the RAF in action, from the dogfights of the First World War to missions in the Gulf War. In compiling this superb visual testament to the RAF, the general aim has been to capture the very reason for the RAF's existence - the combat actions which have given it such an historic tradition of the defence of the nation. Some scenes are of general campaigns or aspects of the RAF's history; most, however, are of specific raids, operations or incidents; but they all demonstrate the variety of locations, tasks and aircraft types that feature in the RAF's reputation.
