RAF: The Birth of the World’s First Air Force

byRichard Overy

In RAF, Richard Overy presents a historical account centered on the Birth of the World’s First Air Force. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Together, these elements make RAF an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
