Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) revolutionized warfare at sea, on land, and in the air. This little-known naval aviation organization introduced and operationalized aircraft carrier strike, aerial anti-submarine warfare, strategic bombing, and the air defence of the British Isles more than 20 years before the outbreak of the Second World War. Traditionally marginalized in a literature dominated by the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force, the RNAS and its innovative practitioners, nevertheless, shaped the fundamentals of air power and contributed significantly to the Allied victory in the First World War. The Development of British Naval Aviation utilizes archival documents and newly published research to resurrect the legacy of the RNAS and demonstrate its central role in Britain’s war effort.

Download or read book The Royal Navy's Air Service in the Great War written by David Hobbs and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a few short years after 1914 the Royal Navy practically invented naval air warfare, not only producing the first effective aircraft carriers, but also pioneering most of the techniques and tactics that made naval air power a reality. By 1918 the RN was so far ahead of other navies that a US Navy observer sent to study the British use of aircraft at sea concluded that any discussion of the subject must first consider their methods. Indeed, by the time the war ended the RN was training for a carrier-borne attack by torpedo-bombers on the German fleet in its bases over two decades before the first successful employment of this tactic, against the Italians at Taranto.Following two previously well-received histories of British naval aviation, David Hobbs here turns his attention to the operational and technical achievements of the Royal Naval Air Service, both at sea and ashore, from 1914 to 1918. Detailed explanations of operations, the technology that underpinned them and the people who carried them out bring into sharp focus a revolutionary period of development that changed naval warfare forever. Controversially, the RNAS was subsumed into the newly created Royal Air Force in 1918, so as the centenary of its extinction approaches, this book is a timely reminder of its true significance.

Book excerpt: In the late 19th century, aviation was dismissed by some military personnel as a waste of time. But, by 1912 the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) had been formed, combining the Air Battalion of the royal Engineers and the Naval Air Organization.

Download or read book Air and Sea Power in World War I written by Maryam Philpott and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great War tore the fabric of Europe apart, killing over 35 million men and challenging the notion of heroism in war, Air and Sea Power in World War I focuses on the experience of World War I from the perspective of British pilots and sailors themselves, to demonstrate that the army-centric view of war studies has been too limited. The Royal Flying Corps, created in 1912, adapted quickly to the needs of modern warfare, driven by the enthusiasm of its men. In contrast, the lack of modernisation in the Royal Navy, despite the unveiling of HMS Dreadnought in 1906, undermined Britain's dominance of the seas. By considering five key aspects of the war experience, this book analyses how motivation was created and sustained. What training did men receive and how effectively did this prepare them for roles that were predominantly non-combative? How was motivation affected by their individual relationship with weaponry development, and how different was defensive service on the Home Front, when in close proximity to ordinary civilian life? Finally, Air and Sea Power in World War I looks at the changing reputation of the services during and after the conflict, and the extent to which these notions were created by the memoirs of pilots and sailors. Featuring new primary source material, including the journals of service men themselves, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars of World War I and of Naval, Aviation and Military History.

Download or read book Royal Air Force 1918 written by Christopher Cole and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Royal Air Force was formed on April 1, 1918, by the amalgamations of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. The R.F.C. had come into being on May 13, 1912, and the R.N.A.S. on June 23, 1914...Regular communiques on air activities for circulation within the Royal Flying Corps had been issued since 1916, and these were continued after the Royal Air Force was formed. The R.A.F. Communiques Nos. 1 to 32 therefore describe British air operations on the Western Front up to the Armistice. Written by the Headquarters' staff from pilots'combat reports and other documents they tell the remarkable story of heroism and describe extroaordinary exploits of aircrews of the new Service, in machines which were primitive by present-day standards but had nevertheless progressed surprisingly in the mere six years which had elapsed since British military aviation was born. They cover the closing stages of the careers of outstanding fighter 'aces'--Bishop, Mannock and Collinshaw--and describe the gallant single-handed combat against 40 enemy fighters for which Major W.G. Barker was awarded the V.C. They record the almost nonchalant way in which observers climbed out on wings of crippled aircraft to enable pilots to regain control, and other almost forgotten episodes, reading more like extracts from a work of fiction--such as the aggressive manner in which airmen, lost in bad weather and about to land by mistake at enemy aerodromes, shot their way out of trouble. ...In presenting for the first time the story of day-to-day fighting as recorded by R.A.F. Headquarters from the facts available at the time, it should be noted that all claims for enemy aircraft driven down out of controll could not be fully substantiated for many reasons, and should therefore be regarded as opinion rather than established fact. This volume does not cover the activities of R.A.F. squadrons with the Independent Force, formed in May 1918 to extend the bombing offensive against German industry, or the campaigns in other theatres. These form the subject of separate communiques."--from the Introduction (pages 9-12)
