Download or read book A Contemptible Little Flying Corps written by I. McInnes and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written about pilots of the Royal Flying Corps but the men on the ground, who kept the planes in the air and the guns firing, have been sadly neglected - and yet their role was a vital one. This truly remarkable book, the production of which must have seemed an impossible task, has more than remedied the situation. The authors have managed to locate all the non-commissioned airmen who enlisted in the RFC prior to the outbreak of war in August 1914, and for each one they have provided a mini-biography. The length of each entry varies, available records being what they are, but detail is provided for over 1,400 men. For those who became pilots, details of their certificates are given. Statistics include the establishment of the Corps at various times and there is a list of non-commissioned ranks as well as notes on uniforms, badges etc. There is a full record of works consulted at the Public Record Office and an excellent bibliography.

Love at first sight feelings fills the corridor of the hotel in that brief interlude. What Francesca couldn’t see was the dark horizon that lay before her feet in her future, as awe love struck blindness shielded her from her logical perception. After her move to Paris, and once Pierre finally and completely had her; he quickly turned evil and insane with delusions of grandeur and paranoia. With the aide of his bodyguards; Adrian and Luc, the three men control her and her every move. Paris, France was now her prison and she became its inmate.

Or will Pierre indefinitely imprison her in Paris for the rest of her life. A once strong, formidable woman has now become weak, frail and fragile. What is on Francesca’s horizon for the future?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “First class . . . a book that helps the reader to understand just what the ordinary soldier thought about his lot in the Great War.” —The Western Front Association This is a most unusual chronicle of the events of one man during the Great War. A professional soldier at the outbreak, Edward Roe was one of the first to cross over to France in 1914 and as such fought in the early battles of the war and took part in the Retreat from Mons. He was there for the crossing of the Marne and Aisne, the dreadful fighting at Ploegsteert and for the extraordinary events during the first Christmas. Remarkably he witnessed the debacle at Gallipoli and was part of the rear-guard of the Army during the re-embarkation and evacuation of the Peninsula. Thereafter the scene shifts to Mesopotamia and the Tigris Corps in the attempt to relieve General Townshend at Kut. Wounded he returned for the final campaign that captured Baghdad. “The author of these unique and extraordinarily moving diaries, which are supported by excellent maps and footnotes, was Edward Roe, an Irishman who had already served nine years with the British Army by the outbreak of the first world war.” —The Times
