The description covers a great deal of what is stated in the book, but there is so much more. There is so much more detailed analysis and planning into the intelligence gathering service that the book explains in great depth.
The author has managed to combine a whole host of amazing facts, figures and relevant articles to produce the fascinating work.
There are detailed charts and tables of how things developed and were used as well as photographs throughout the publication. There is a list of sources, notes and a full index at the back of the book.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and it deserves a place on any historical reference shelf.

This book is a fantastic summary of the hard work, dedication, planning, and execution for one of the most spectacular flypasts ever performed over London. It is a fitting tribute to the brave men and women of the Royal Air Force and I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the history of the RAF and to anyone who stood on the Mall or watched online this incredible centenary flypast. It was a glorious demonstration of professional airmanship and commemorative heritage and this book captures all of the details brilliantly.
