Britain's Modern Royal Air Force

This is an up-to-date review of the Royal Air Force in the mid-1990s, both in the air and on the ground, from front-line Tornado fighters to fire-fighting vehicles. It is a complete account of an air force in a profound state of change, adapting to its role in the new world order while coping with an ever-decreasing budget. The book surveys the organization of the RAF, and looks in detail at the structure and operational status of Strike, Personnel and Training, and Logistics Commands, plus the RAF Regiment, Reserve Forces and the Air Cadets. Provides an inventory of every aircraft type serving with today's RAF, complete with full specifications and performance data, plus a selection of ordnance. The book is illustrated with photographs, scale plans of aircraft types and ground vehicles, force level diagrams and tables, and a map of RAF bases in the UK.
