carrick58 23 Posted February 22, 2011 I was at the local Hobby shop , picking up a 1/48 scale platsic Model of an Albatross D-3 and paints, and noticed a Opsey book entitled Life of an RNAS pilot . The cover had a WWI hanger scene with 2 wing a/c. Anyone ever heard of it ? I didnt have time to take a peak at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaillyHo 2 Posted February 22, 2011 Just had a quick search, Carrick - this one is as close as I could see from Osprey (www.ospreypublishing.com), but doesn't look like the cover you describe. Looks interesting, for sure! . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted February 22, 2011 . I've never seen that title Carrick, and I wonder if it isn't a reprint under a new name of an older book on the subject. If you are interested in the life and times of the RNAS and the pilots who flew with that service here are a few excellent reads to add to those already listed by Uncleal and TaillyHo: "In the Teeth of the Wind: Memoir of the Royal Naval Air Service in World War I", by C.P. Bartlett "The Spider Web", by T.D. Hallam "Australian Hawk Hawk Over The Western Front: A Biography of Major R S Dallas", by Adrian Hellwig "Air Command: A Fighter Pilot's Story", by Raymond Collishaw "A History Of No 10 Squadron RNAS in WWI", by Mike Westrop "With the Flying Squadron", by Harold Rosher "Green Balls: The Adventures of a Night Bomber", by Paul Bewsher "The Flatpack Bombers: The Royal Navy and the Zeppelin Menace", by Ian Gardiner "Naval Eight: A history of No 8 Squadron RNAS", by E.G. Johnstone There are many others. Cheers! Lou . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
