History Of No 6 Squadron Royal Naval Air Service In World War I

OUR PRICE: £49.95

Despite No 6 Squadron RNAS being the first British fighter squadron to deploy a production twin gun scout on the Western Front (beating the Royal Flying Corp's elite 56 Squadron by couple of weeks) and the first squadron to take the notoriously unreliableSiddelley Puma powered D.H.9 into battle, almost nothing has been published about the activities of this important Royal Naval Air Services squadron.The lack of published information can perhaps be explained by the fact that large block of the squadron's daily reports are inexplicable missing from their “box” in Britain's National Archives. After much effort and time, Mike Westrop discovered the “missing” documents in a Royal Flying Corps War Diary.This pilots' log books, and many previously unpublished photographs has enabled the author to produce the first-in-depth look at the activites and accomplishments of this “forgotten” squadron.The Royal Naval Air Service had a reputation for fielding the most colourful Allied machines in France and Belgium, and the reputation was upheld by the Nieuport scouts of No. 6 Squadron. A collection of superb new colour profiles from Mark Miller depicts the squadron's Nieuport 17B is scouts to perfection.
