Royal Naval Air Service Pilot 1914–18
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. This book charts the pioneering role of the RNAS in military aviation.
The RNAS were in the thick of the fighting until the formation of the RAF in 1918, protecting Britain from Zeppelin raids, carrying out bombing and observation missions at Gallipoli, and engaging in dogfights with the enemy on the Western Front.

Description
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 operations in the Dardanelles and also provided increasing support to the Royal Flying Corps units engaged on the Western Front. They conducted reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, and artillery spotting, along with bombing raids and aerial combat with German pilots.
Royal Naval Air Service Pilot 1914–18 explores all of these fascinating areas and charts the pioneering role of the RNAS in military aviation.

About the Author
Lieutenant Mark Barber RN is a pilot based at RNAS Culdrose. His dissertation on the Fleet Air Arm in the Mediterranean in World War II was named as the best in its year at the Royal Navy Academy, Dartmouth. He was named Best Aircrew Officer upon graduation of his class. His unlimited access to Royal Navy and Fleet Air Arm museum records and photographs has resulted in a book that is a worthy addition to the annals of British naval aviation.
Adam Hook studied graphic design, and began his work as an illustrator in 1983. He specializes in detailed historical reconstructions, and has illustrated Osprey titles on the Aztecs, the Greeks, several 19th-century American subjects, and a number of books in the Fortress series. His work features in exhibitions and publications throughout the world.
