Book description
Max Arthur, bestselling author of FORGOTTEN VOICES: THE GREAT WAR,
presents this moving collection of first-hand accounts of life in the
Royal Air Force, from 1918 to the present day.
LOST VOICES OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE records the role of the RAF in World
War II, and, particularly, the Battle of Britain and the desert battles
of North Africa, as well as in the Falklands and in the Gulf War.
Through original interviews with air and ground crew, the spirit and
comradeship, the stress, courage, isolation, vulnerability and the
wonder of the wartime flying experience is vividly explored. 'Very few
men are still alive who fought in the trenches in the First World War.
The words of the soldiers, however, are as fresh as if they were written
yesterday . . . extraordinary.' Max Arthur is a distinguished military
historian, whose books include Men of the Red Beret (over 30,000 copies
sold), and There Shall be Wings (40,000 sold)
