Its an excellent reference - highly recommended. Covers unit histories in detail including squadrons, groups, wings, fighter, ground attack, bomber and martime units. The first print books are expensive ie., collectables but you should be able to find a paper back.

Thx guys. I went ahead and bought it, and its definately a cracker. Loads of great quality pics and all the information a man could desire.
Highly recommended.

I've just got this book today and wilst I've not read it word for word it must be one of the most comprehensive books about the R.A.
I can't see anyone needing to buy anything else!

Can anyone be specific as to how the new edition compare to the original?

Did Hikoki (Ian Allan) put old wine in a new bottle as they did with the Ullmann book?
