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.
