Britain's Aviation Heritage: Celebrating 90 Years of the Royal Air Force

To commemorate its 90th anniversary in 2008, the Royal Air Force (RAF) commissioned a prestigious book, Britain’s Aviation Heritage: Celebrating 90 Years of the Royal Air Force. The book was a unique celebration of the RAF, chronicling landmark events of the past 90 years as well as the present-day RAF and modern Britain.

The publication was launched at an event at the Royal Air Museum in North London where Air Chief Marshal Sir Glenn Torpy was presented with a specially commissioned model as a gift. Representatives from today’s RAF attended, as did those from the force’s earliest days, including 111-year-old Henry Allingham.
