What is Somme success : the Royal Flying Corps and the Battle of the Somme, 1916 about?

The experiences of the British army on the Somme in 1916 have become a legend of endurance and sacrifice, but little has been written in recent years on the air war above the battlefield. This account does not draw primarily upon official histories or previously published memoirs, but rather on never-before published accounts recorded by the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive in London. The atmosphere in England after the war did not encourage candid accounts, and the Sound Archives contain incidents and perspective that would otherwise not have been preserved.<p>Photographic reconnaissance and artillery spotting were the primary duties of the air forces, with fighters being developed to attach aircraft engaged in these tasks. The conflict between fighters turned into a war of its own, with new weapons, tactics and aircraft constantly being developed to gain the upper hand.</p>
