towisuk Posted 2 March , 2014 Share Posted 2 March , 2014 Here's an interesting book covering as the title says The War in the Air, a wide ranging and fairly comprehensive book that holds lots of information...even down to individual bombing missions by Zeppelins over British Towns and cities... Africa and the Western Front also well covered in this Publication, all accompanied by some excellent maps https://archive.org/details/warinairbeingsto03rale Enjoy, regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted 2 March , 2014 Share Posted 2 March , 2014 Tom It's volume 2 of the Official History of the British Air Services. Vol 1 was written by Sir Walter Raleigh and Vols 2-6 by H A Jones, who served as an observer in No 47 Sqn RFC/RAF in Macedonia. Well worth reading.

towisuk Posted 3 March , 2014 Author Share Posted 3 March , 2014 Many thanks for the further information gentlemen, I came across it whist looking for details of an accidental Zeppelin bombing raid over a North Lincolnshire town. I'll look for the other volumes and download them, it never fails to amaze me how much FREE information is "out there" if you look for it. regards Tom Edit...found and downloaded them, thank you Gareth and Simon...

MartH Posted 3 August , 2014 Share Posted 3 August , 2014 Unfortunately does not contain the 2 map volumes and appendices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaureenE Posted 4 August , 2014 Share Posted 4 August , 2014 Some of the maps and appendices are available on the Hathi Trust Digital Library, but are not generally accessible. Perhaps someone may be able to access them through a University Library or similar. I think the Volume labelled 3.1 may be maps, and Volume 7 is probably appendices or maps http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000440546?type%5B%5D=all&lookfor%5B%5D=War%20in%20the%20Air&ft= Cheers Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
