THE ROYAL NAVAL AIR SERVICE IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR
Aircraft and Events as Recorded in Official Documents
By Philip Jarrett

An oversized hardback of 262 pages, fully illustrated
This book makes original documents relating to the work of Britain's Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) during the First World War readily available to students and historians. To enhance visual interest, a large collection of photographs, many hitherto unpublished, has been added. Some of these relate directly to the aircraft and events mentioned in the documents, but others show developments before and after the periods covered.

The five documents concerned are the Diary of Important Operations, Flanders, 1916; Disposition of Aircraft, 24 February 1917; Royal Naval Air Service Communiques Nos 1 to 14; Truing-up of Aeroplanes: Issued by the Air Department on 1 September 1916; and The Grain drawings, a unique set of sketches and drawings made by a draughtsman at the RNAS seaplane repair station at Port Victoria, Isle of Grain, Kent during the Great War.
