About this ebook
In 1914 the Naval Wing of the Royal Flying Corps was subsumed into the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). With the bulk of the Royal Flying Corps engaged in France, the aircraft and seaplane pilots of the RNAS protected Britain from the deadly and terrifying Zeppelin menace. In 1915 the RNAS sent aircraft to support the operations in the Dardanelles, and also gave increasing support to the Royal Flying Corps units engaged on the Western Front, conducting reconnaissance, intelligence gathering and artillery spotting, bombing raids, and aerial combat with German pilots. This book explores all of these fascinating areas, and charts the pioneering role of the RNAS in military aviation.

Reviews for Royal Naval Air Service Pilot 1914–18
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
3.5/5
2 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Superficial treatment of training and service of RNAS pilots during WW1. Scout pilots serving on the Western Front receive, as always, most of the attention. There is very little coverage of training and service of float and sea plane pilots.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent primer on the Royal Naval Air Service, little known by many outside the British naval and flying communities. The author does a very good job in presenting a cursory overview of he RNAS, including its organization, early history, aircraft and service in various theatres of WWI.
