Condition: Very good, would be as new but for a small inscription inside the cover.
Today's Royal Air Force is in the front line of the Western world's defences. The heart of the RAF's work is in the defence of the British Isles and the commitment to the NATO alliance. Although the majority of the RAF's aircraft are accordingly based at home with the squadrons of Strike and Support Command or with RAF Germany, the Royal Air Force also retains worldwide responsibilities in the Falklands, Belize and Cyprus among others.
RAF Today looks at each of the major commands and research and development work in turn, giving a full-colour photographic portrait of the front-line aircraft and behind-the-scenes activities. The roles and deployment of each command are fully discussed in Alan Hall's authoritative text and comprehensive captions are given for each illustration ranging from the well-known combat types like the Tornado and Harrier to the more mundane like the Chipmunk and Pembroke.
RAF Today gives a vivid and fascinating portrait of every activity of the service, featuring over 125 carefully-chosen colour photographs. No aviation enthusiast should be without this book
