About This Item
Sydney: Allen & Unwin, 1991. Hardback thick octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white text-photos, map, minor edgewear jacket, inner hinge little split (no loose pages). Heavy (1.3 Kg), and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 533 pp. This book is a comprehensive account of the RAAF in the years leading to the start of the Second World War, documenting the establishment and growth of the service, its personalities and problems, low points as well as triumphs. The book describes the struggle of the third member of Australiaâs defence triad to gain acceptance as a co-equal of the Army and Navy. The RAAF celebrates its 70th anniversary during 1991. In 1987 the Chief of the Air Staff commissioned Christopher Coulthard-Clark to write a history of the service covering the formative years, from its establishment in 1921 until 1939, thereby filling in the gap between the official histories of Australian air power in the First and second World Wars. (Inner hinge little split between p412 and 413.).
