Full title: Fokker Fodder: The Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c

Format: 234 x 156 mm
Hardback, 160 pages, 150 black and white illustrations

The B.E.2c slogged on throughout the war, and its poor performance against German fighters, and the failure to improve or replace it, caused great controversy in Britain. One MP attacked the B.E.2c and the Royal Aircraft Factory in the House of Commons stating that RFC pilots were being ‘murdered than killed.’ This resulted in a judicial enquiry that cleared the factory and was partly instrumental in bringing about the creation of the Royal Air Force.

Format: 234 x 156mm
Hardback, 256pages, 110 illustrations

The RAF and Commonwealth air crews were bound by regulations and discipline during WWII. Survival was by no means a certainty, with casualties becoming a part of everyday life. The evolution of non-established clubs was recognised and regarded as an important area within RAF history that boosted moral. The regulations flexed to allow membership pins and badges to be worn on RAF and Commonwealth flying uniforms. This book allows the reader to experience a number of individual stories and understand the relevance of being a:
‘Goldfish’ (Lives saved by the use of personal life preservers and dinghies),
‘Caterpillar’ (Lives saved by parachutes) or:
‘Guinea Pig’ (Lives saved by pioneering surgery conducted by Archibald McIndoe at the Queen Victoria Hospital Sussex)
In many instances the accounts are recalled in great detail from the official records of medals and awards. True heroism and gallant deeds supported by original photographs create an easy to read book, revealing areas of interest not previously visited in this format.
