A detailed study of the Free French airmen who served within the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Bennett examines the political and military tensions between Charles de Gaulle, the British government, and the RAF as they worked to rebuild French airpower after the 1940 collapse. The book explores issues of identity, loyalty, command, and coalition warfare, highlighting how these aviators contributed to the re‑establishment of a credible French air force by 1945.
