Overview
The Royal Air Force is synonymous with its heroic achievements in the summer of 1940, when Winston Churchill's "famous few" held G'ering's Luftwaffe at bay in the Battle of Britain. For much of the 20th century, warplanes were a symbol of the modern era, but within the space of a hundred years, military aviation has morphed from exotic to mundane. Aviators always seemed different from soldiers and sailors - more adventurous, questing and imaginative. In both world wars air aces dominated each side's propaganda, capturing hearts and dreams. In Wings, Patrick Bishop brings us a compelling account of military flying from its heroic early days to the present.
