Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Post-war, the RAF continued its role as defender of Soviet air attack and means of delivering the nuclear deterrent. Despite this, change in politics led to policies which resulted in the weakening of the RAF.

Synopsis:

A comprehensive look at the rise and fall of British air power from a more critical than usual angle.
