Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A nail-bitingly exciting narrative, this is the history of a specialist RFC Scout squadron formed in 1916. which served above the western front in the battles of the Somme, Arras, third Ypres (Passchendaele) and the German offensives in March 1918, when it became Sixty Squadron of the new RAF.

Illustrated with 21 photographs and pictures; and two maps, and accompanied by two appendices listing officers who served in the squadron and their fates, this is a book that no-one remotely interested in the Great War in the air will want to be without.…
