Swift to the Sky, marking the 73rd anniversary of the founding of the RNZAF in 1937 and funded by the Airforce Museum in Wigram, is being released today by Penguin. The last such history, Portrait of an Airforce, was relefased to mark the 50th anniversary in 1987; the 73rd is an unusual jubilee - would not the 75th in a couple of years time from now have been more logical?
We also understand that Paul Harrison and Brian Lockstone have written a history covering the RNZAF in WW2, due for release in July.
Swift to the Sky, 232 pages, hardback, sells for $65 and is available in our online shop.
We will review both books together later in the year.
