Keith Rennles ISBN:
1-902304-90-X Category:
History Format:
Hardback Summary:
Subtitled 'The War Diary of the Daylight Squadrons of the Independent Air Force June-November 1918' it is very much what it says on the tin; a day-by-day account of the missions flown by the IF, including targets, aircraft and crews from each of the sqns. While it is a history of the IF's actions, it's difficult to read cover-to-cover, so acts more as a reference for those wanting to research a particular action or period of activity. With 217pp and 20 pages of photos, it does cover an often neglected aspect of the war on the Western Front, away from the 'glamour' of the fighter pilots.
