Product description

Between 1924 and 1937, the Royal Aircraft Establishment carried out experiments in air-to-air refuelling with a variety of types of aircraft. Various methods were used to lay the foundation of what is today a standard method of extending the range of military aircraft.

This work describes the RAE refuelling experiments in detail, the contribution of Richard Atcherley and Air Ministry policy regarding the application of aerial refuelling to military aircraft during the 1930's
