Description

Appears unread. No marks or inscriptions. No creasing to covers or to spine. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, traces of storage and no bumping to corners. Appendix plus 320pp. The RAF Pocket Book issued in 1937, and amended to 1939, is in many ways the RAF equivalent of Staff Duties in the Field, issued to ground forces. It covers administration, discipline and signals. Of particular importance to airmen it also deals with air navigation, meteorology, airmanship and many other important topics, including liaison with the Navy and the Army. It also covers explosives and weapons in 17 chapters which give a very detailed picture of how the RAF thought and worked in the years leading up to the Second World War. A rare find, this book is recommended to everyone interested in military history. Reprint of the Official Air Ministry document from 1939.
