THE UNSUNG HEROES OF THE RAF

The third and final instalment in

FlyPast’s RAF Centenary Celebration

series focuses on the unsung heroes

involved in the vital roles of transport

and maritime overwatch. This

100-page special explores the wide

range of aircraft employed in both

tasks over the RAF’s lifespan, from

1917 to the present day. More than 40

aircraft types are described, including:

Short Singapore III

The six-crew machine formed the mainstay

of the RAF’s flying boat squadrons

throughout the second half of the 1930s,

and remained in service in the early years

of World War Two.

Douglas Dakota

The C-47/Dakota was in the thick of the

action from its entry into service in World

War Two, and was instrumental not just

in transporting paratroopers for D-Day,

but also for carrying vital supplies to the

frontline.

Hawker Siddeley Nimrod
The Nimrod became as adept at search and
rescue as it did hunting Soviet submarines.
The type patrolled Britain’s coastlines for
more than 40 years.
