“On the 1st of April 1983 The Royal Air Force completed it first 65 years: For some a life time of service. The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund has thus marked the occasion with this handsome book, lavishly illustrated with over 125 colour plates: selected under the criteria of being the most interesting, nostalgic, important and dramatic of the endeavours - and achievements - of this service; recorded by war artist and cameraman. There is a short resume by Air Commodore H.A. Probert head of the Air Historical Branch (RAF); which traces the development of the RAF to the present day: the pictures are supported by very substantial captions by E.A. Munday; containing often information not widely known.”
