Viac o knihe

The emergence of Britain's Royal Air Force represents a significant shift in military history, as detailed by historian Richard Overy. He illustrates how the RAF was born from the stalemate of World War I trench warfare, particularly in response to German bombings of British cities. Key political figures like Prime Minister David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill played crucial roles in establishing the RAF as an independent military force in 1918, paving the way for its global influence on air power development.
