Remarkably, there has never been a history dedicated solely to the Royal Navy's airmen in the First World War. Yet it was these men who pioneered the use of air power at sea, strategic bombing, anti-submarine warfare - and fast moving armoured warfare on land.! In so doing, they changed naval warfare forever and laid the foundations for today's carrier borne aviation - the ultimate projection of global military power. Using much new material from the archives of the Imperial War Museum, the author traces the development and operations of the man and machines, from the first uncertain beginnings with airships until the service was unwillingly absorbed by the newly formed Royal Air Force in April, 1918. The Navy was not to regain full control of its aircraft and airmen again for another 21 years. Well illustrated with B&W photographs and colour plates.

"ROYAL NAVAL AIR SERVICE, 1912 - 1918"
By Brad King,
Remarkably, there has never been a history dedicated solely to the Royal Navy's airmen in the First World War. Yet it was these men who pioneered the use of air power at sea, strategic bombing, anti-submarine warfare - and fast moving armoured warfare on land.! In so doing, they changed naval warfare forever and laid the foundations for today's carrier borne aviation - the ultimate projection of global military power. Using much new material from the archives of the Imperial War Museum, the author traces the development and operations of the man and machines, from the first uncertain beginnings with airships until the service was unwillingly absorbed by the newly formed Royal Air Force in April, 1918.

"BRITISH JEWRY BOOK OF HONOUR, 1914-19"
Edited By Rev. M.Adler
A Selous Books Reprint. Originally printed in 1922 this is a nominal roll of all Jews serving in the British and Empire Forces during the First World War. It also includes outline histories of several of the Jewish Units, a Roll of Honour, and records all Honours and Awards. 364 pages of illustrations showing the fallen, group photographs and memorials.
Hard back. 1020 pages) £74.95 plus G p&p

"BRITISH JEWRY BOOK OF HONOUR, 1914-19" - BOOK REVIEWS

This can only be described as a monumental work. Put together in the early 1920s, it is a comprehensive record of the part played by Jews in the British and Dominion armed forces during the Great War, designed in part to show that, contrary to popular myth of the time, the Jewish community not only contributed magnificently to the war effort but also made commensurate sacrifices. When it is realised that over 60,000 Jews served in the armed forces between 1914 and 1918, of whom 2,324 lost their lives and a further 6350 were wounded, the scale of the effort becomes clear; when it is added that among the totals were five Victoria Crosses, 50 Distinguished Service Crosses, 242 Military Crosses, 80 Distinguished Conduct Medals, 308 Military Medals and 374 Mention in Despatches, it may be appreciated that courage was not lacking. As a memorial to the Men (and Women) involved, this book achieves its purpose.

But such a work is more than just a dry record, for it is books such as this that are now so useful as research tools. The list of the Jewish dead is comprehensive to the extent of giving pre-war addresses for nearly all the fallen, while the lists of Jews who served, divided into individual Regiments of the British Army and the separate Dominion Contingents, provide service numbers, ranks and, where known appointments. All this is invaluable when it comes to checking medal details. Equally important is the material on the "Zion Mule Corps", raised in Egypt for service in the Dardenelles, and the 38th, 39th, and 40th (Service) Battalions of the Royal Fusiliers, known collectively as the "Judeans", the full membership list of which is provided. Finally, the 364 pages of photographs add depth to the book, each being captioned with the subject’s names and unit where known. Also included are photographs of Jewish memorials, both in the UK and abroad, as they existed in the early 1920s, together with some shots of Jewish troops in training. All in all, a very comprehensive coverage that must be unique among World War One Books of Honour.

The reprint has been produced for Selous Books in India, and the quality is remarkably good, from the blue leather effect covers and gold-leaf page-edges to the individual pages and photographs. The price may seem high, but what you get for your money is a substantial and valuable reference book. It also remains what it was in 1922 - a fitting record of patriotic service in a hard war.

Dr John Pimlott
Head of Military Studies, Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst.


The final book in this series of reprints from Selous Books is particularly welcome and is a daring project. One of the most highly detailed books on those who served and died in the Great War is the massive work British Jewry Book of Honour, 1914 - 1919. Almost completely unobtainable in its original form - it was first published in 1922 - it has long been of value to genealogists and medal collectors. There is a Roll of Honour of the dead, records of honours and awards, citations for MC’s, DFC’s and DCM’s, nominal roll of service by regiment and a photographic record. All of this is in 1020 pages (364 of them of photographs). Very well produced in very limited quantity, the photographs have come out very well, and if you do not have this book and are interested in the Great War, I suggest that you put in your order quickly.
