Bog beskrivelse
The role of the Armourer has been crucial to the Royal Air Force (RAF) since its inception in 1912. Lord Trenchard, founder of the RAF, famously said, "The Armourer – without him there is no need for an air force." This profession, dating back to ancient times, has evolved alongside the RAF, adapting to new military technologies and aircraft. Written by Tony Lamsdale, a former RAF Armourer, this book unveils the often-overlooked history and contributions of the trade. It explores the Armourer’s role through the experiences of veterans, offering personal anecdotes from World War II, the Cold War, and modern conflicts in places like the Falklands, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The Armourer’s responsibilities, from handling bomb dumps to managing small arms, and their unique language and camaraderie, are detailed through the stories of those who served. Despite the potential dangers, the trade remains vital to military operations, requiring specialized skills and knowledge. This book provides an in-depth look at an essential yet hidden role, shedding light on the Armourer’s indispensable contributions to the RAF's success. Through firsthand accounts, it offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into a profession that has shaped military aviation history.
