About This Book

H. A. Jones offers a personal recollection of Sir Walter Raleigh's work preparing an official history of the Air Force, describing Raleigh's enthusiasm, sensitivity, and painstaking effort to master technical material. The narrative follows his 1918 visits to headquarters, squadrons, and observation flights, and emphasizes his admiration for young airmen, their esprit de corps, and the distinct character of aerial service. Jones also outlines the early years of powered flight, the slow initial reception of aviation, and the rapid transformation brought by wartime demands, while noting how Raleigh shaped his introduction to convey both practical organization and moral feeling.
