Fading Eagle looks at the rise and fall of British air power from a more critical than usual angle; that of political ineptitude. The RAF rose to prominence during WWII. Post-war, the RAF continued as the principal defender of the UK and as the principal means of delivering the nuclear deterrent. Post Cold War, political incompetence continues!
