This book is part of the reading list for Student Officers about to attend Initial Officer Training at the RAF College Cranwell. I’m less than a fifth of the way in, and it has impressed me greatly. It’s a well researched, written and argued work that has already enhanced my understanding of the Royal Air Force. More thoughts will follow as I get further through the book.
