About this book

Before a night raid, the Bedouin squadron checked engines, compasses, charts and wind drift, then sat down to a formal dinner. Robert Henry Reece brings these preparations and the officers' shared routines into an account of aerial service during the First World War. Formed in September 1917, the squadron flew large Handley-Page aircraft from the Nancy front on long-distance bombing missions. Its nickname reflected frequent moves and the restless temperament of its members.

Reece also explains how aircraft developed from reconnaissance machines into fighters, artillery observers and bombers. Technical discussion sits alongside scenes of singing in the ward-room, respect for the commanding officer and the changing mood as crews put on their flying clothes.
