Osprey's Royal Naval Air Service Pilot 1914-18. Due out this month, although Amazon reckons it's out already.

If anyone has it yet, is it worth buying?

Don't know Gunners but I've just ordered it.

Righto Gunners. I have now read this book, and can say that for a beginner who wants an introduction into the R.N.A.S. it would be a good read. I was a little disappointed by the lack of colour images of aircraft from the various squadrons, especially as many of these planes do not have a dedicated Aces book of their own like the Pup, Tripe or Camel do. Other than this a good read, with a few details not found elsewhere. You may especially like the photograph on p.33 of a Pup armed with Le Prieur rockets.

I've been disappointed with a few of the Ospreys of late - very little substance to them.

A fair summation of my feelings.
