No
question in my mind: if you have any interest in
tracing men or women of the British flying services
from the late Victorian period onward, this book
is a must. At
£9.99 it represents fantastic value.
Phil Tomaselli is a name that appears often in the genealogy
press, in my experience always offering sound, practical
and accurate advice on how to go about tracing ones forebears.
In this specialist work he leaves no stone unturned. Phil
tells us how to trace the records of an individual and
how to interpret what is found. Medals, casualty records
and the like are all covered in depth. He goes into squadron
and other operational records and gives enough information
about the development of the flying services for us to
understand the context of an individual's story. The
scope of the book covers the late Victorian balloon and
other fledgling services, the Royal Flying Corps anbd Royal
Naval Air Service of WW1, the Royal Air Force and Fleet
Air Arm on the inter-war years, WW2 and Korea, Suez, Malaya
and so on.
A superb work of reference.
