Book Description | Starting at the end of the First World War, this book follows Sir Hugh Trenchard's attempt to fend off disparaging attacks by the other services on the RAF through the medium of public engagement. Demonstrations by military aircraft proved to be a great boon, resulting in the Royal Air Force's contribution to air displays. |
