"In Tartar Air force, Deborah Lake investigates Scotland's contribution to military flying over the last hundred years. With a wealth of previously unpublished or little known accounts from air and ground crew, fliers and non-fliers, this is a comprehensive and entertaining tribute which emphasises the human aspect of Scotland's part in the story." "From the Second World War, when many famous missions, including those against the great German battleship Tirpitz, were undertaken from Scottish airfields, to the importance of its RAF air bases and radar stations in assessing the Soviet threat during the Cold War and beyond, Scotland has played its part in protecting the skies."--BOOK JACKET.
