The RAF in Camera
Archive Photographs from the Public Record Office and the Ministry of Defence, 1946-1995
Description:... The RAF in Camera 1946-1995 is the third volume in a series which will bring a representative selection of these two collections to the attention of a wider audience. Many of the photographs are published here for the first time and give the reader a fascinating kaleidoscope of images depicting the vast range of operations in which the RAF was involved from the end of the Second World War right up to the Gulf War. Included are the Berlin Airlift, the 'bush' wars in Kenya, Malaya and Indonesia, atom-bomb tests in Australia and the Pacific, the Korean, Falklands and Gulf Wars, and the Suez and Cyprus crises. Each of the 240 photographs, some taken in action, has been thoroughly researched and is accompanied by a detailed caption. This remarkable volume of illustrations will appeal not only to those with an interest in Royal Air Force, but also to anyone with an interest in the history of military aviation.
