		However, comparatively little space has been given to the magnificent work done by the RNAS fighter Squadrons (Naval 1, 8, 9 and 10) formed to aid the RFC during late 1916 and 1917.
		It is also noteworthy that there is little mention of Number 3 (Naval) Wing, the first Strategic Bombing Wing and the first unit to fly combined operations (British, Canadian, French, and American).
		This book gives a good over-view of the RNAS but says little of the day-to-day history of the units and men who made the RNAS Britain's prime aerial fighting force during 1914 and 1915.
