Photographic history of the French air force in the First World War

During World War One the French Army was in a state of disarray, plagued by indiscipline, mutinies and desertion. The ordinary French citizens that were called upon to defend their motherland - the Poilu - were disrespected and demoralized. This title charts the history of the Poilu.

This work takes a look at the Royal Navy during World War II. It covers the organization of the fleet, the duties and conditions of shipboard life, and the uniforms and gear worn in all theatres of war. It also traces the development of the Royal Navy from 1939 to the end of the war.

This second volume details the uniforms and equipment of the Free French forces which fought alongside the Allies to defeat Germany and liberate Western Europe.
