Throughout the relatively short yet highly distinguished history of
the Royal Air Force there has been a tendency for the men and women of the
Service to be overshadowed by the glamour of the aircraft. Nonetheless it is
surprising that there has never before been a complete record of the uniforms
and badges of the RAF and its predecessor, the Royal Flying Corps. Malcolm
Hobart and Pen and Sword Books have cooperated to rectify this serious omission
with this superbly colour illustrated and comprehensive collector's guide.
Badges of rank and trade are all depicted not only for the flying arms but for
ground staff. This valuable addition to our Collector series also covers the RAF
Reserves and Auxiliary Service, Air Training Corps and the Royal Observer
Corps.
