British Research and Development Seventy Years at the Leading Edge (A Foulis aviation book)
Ray Sturtivant Livres
La fascination de Ray Sturtivant pour l'aviation a débuté dans sa jeunesse, alimentée par des visites d'aérodromes en temps de guerre près de chez lui. Son service national a approfondi cet intérêt lors de son passage au sein de la RAF en Inde. Au début de sa carrière dans la fonction publique, il a perfectionné un talent remarquable pour la recherche méticuleuse et la compilation de faits. Cette compétence est devenue le fondement de son travail, lui permettant de se plonger dans l'histoire des avions et des unités de la RAF et de la Fleet Air Arm, créant ainsi des archives définitives pour les passionnés d'aviation.
The first complete listing of the many thousands of flying training and support units of the RAF and its predecessor the Royal Flying Corps from 1912 to the present day. Many years of research have gone into this coverage of such units as Flying Training Schools, Operational Training Units, Conversion Units, Operational Conversion Units, World War I Training Squadrons and numbered flights. Lesser known units include Maintenance Units, Repair & Servicing Units, Air Stores Parks, Staging Posts and numbered landing grounds in the UK, 2nd TAF and the Middle East. Cross-references are given to relevant administrative units such as Commands, Groups, Wings, Bases and Brigades, which are also listed. Aircraft types and examples are given, and in many cases the periodic strength or establishment. Comprehensive index of bases. 368 pages. 200 photographs.
