To mark the centenary of the formation of one of the Royal Air Forces longest serving squadrons Fighting High Publishing presents Owen Clarks Under Their Own Flag, which details the remarkable story of No. 47 Squadron from its birth in 1916 through to the culmination of the Second World War.Formed at Beverley, Yorkshire, on 1 March 1916, No. 47 Squadron went on to operate in far flung corners of the world, frequently as the sole representatives of the Royal Air Force and the United Kingdom. During the First World War the squadron flying Armstrong Whitworth FK3s, amongst other types, was stationed in Greece fighting the Bulgarian forces, and in 1919 the squadron was deployed to southern Russia to support the White Army during the Russian Civil War, operating aircraft such as the Airco DH9 and Sopwith Camel. The 1920s and 30s found the squadron, equipped with aircraft such as the de Havilland DH9a, Fairey IIIF, and Fairey Gordon, deployed to Egypt and the Sudan on policing duties, before engaging the Italians during the early Second World War campaigns in East Africa, operating Vickers Wellesleys. During 1942 and 1943, equipped with the Bristol Beaufort and Beaufighter, the squadron undertook numerous armed rover patrols in support of the fighting in North Africa and Tunisia, subsequently assisting in the Allied attempts to prevent the Aegean islands from coming under enemy control. A transfer to the Far East followed and a conversion to de Havilland Mosquitos. With the Japanese defeated the squadron went on to fulfil peace keeping duties on the Island of Java.Author Owen Clark has drawn on his considerable archive, and utilized a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, to tell the story of this unique and distinguished squadron. Also included is a selection of specially commissioned aircraft profiles. The squadron of today prides itself on its ability to get the job done, an approach that is as present today as it was in the beginning. Under Their Own Flag presents the first three decades of this unique and extraordinary squadron, and the men who served Sans Peur. 10th AF Bomber/Fighter/Commando/Liaison Units - CBI History India Air Task Force Source: The Army Air Forces in WWII Vol IV [Chapter 12] Craven & Cate Brig Gen Clayton L Bissell (10th AF) had made a careful survey of History of the peninsula - Catnaps Interestingly Lorimer notes that of the above tribes the Hamaidat and Mahandah appear to be peculiar to Qatar He identifies the settled population as living The Battleship Kongo Japanese Battleships - Friesian School The Battleship Kong The Japanese battleship Kong a ship with a magical name and an important history was budgeted in 1910 and ordered from the British This day in Military History - Page 3 - SOCNET: The This day in Military History History 1776 - The first Columbus a 24-gun armed ship was built at Philadelphia in 1774 as Sally Purchased for the Continental Navy Browse By Author: W - Project Gutenberg Texts and audio books available online at Project Gutenberg HMS Royal Oak (08) - Wikipedia HMS Royal Oak was one of five Revenge-class battleships built for the Royal Navy during the First World War Launched in 1914 and completed in 1916 Royal Oak first history of France Britannicacom By the end of the 15th century the Valois kings of France had expelled the English from all their soil except the port of Calais concluding the Hundred Years War SMS Goeben - Wikipedia SMS Goeben was the second of two Moltke-class battlecruisers of the Imperial German Navy launched in 1911 and named after the German Franco-Prussian War veteran
