Book Description

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 color 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.

Book Description

The Royal Airforce maintains a tradition of aircraft markings, not only in its heraldic badges, standards and insignia, but also in its aircraft paint schemes. All the markings on current RAF aircraft have their meanings and this book shows all of them in colour and explains their history and significance. Squadron badges, special finishes for flying dislays or anniversary events, nose art dating from the Gulf War, the whole range of formal and informal RAF colour schemes is recorded in this book. Aircraft and their markings are shown in squadron sequence, with ancillary information throughout.
