  • Subjective Impressions in the Archives: Britain’S National Archives As a Source for Personal Accounts, and Personal Opinions, of Air Warfare, 1914–1918 by A
    Points of Interest THE ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE JOURNAL VOL.POINTS 3 | NO. 2 SPRINGOF 2014 INTEREST Subjective Impressions in the Archives: Britain’s National Archives as a Source for Personal Accounts, and Personal Opinions, of Air Warfare, 1914–1918 By A. D. Harvey Editor’s note: The author’s British writing conventions have been maintained. ost writers of books on First World War aviation—a recent example is Ian Mackersey’s No Empty Chairs1—pay fulsome tribute to the Imperial War Museum, the Royal Air Force (R. A. F.) Museum at Hendon and, above all, the Liddle Collection at the M 2 Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds, with its “amazing trove” of letters and diaries by aviators of the 1914–18 period. By contrast, very little use ever seems to be made of the much larger quantity of original material in Britain’s National Archives at Kew. Much of this consists, of course, of official returns and reports which still await the exhaustive analysis that will be needed before we can count on a really balanced picture of how work like artillery spotting and coastal patrolling fitted in with the much more celebrated exploits of the fighter pilots. There is, however, a surprising amount of material comprising first-hand accounts of personal experiences. The fact that this material was originally written for official purposes, with the expectation of its being read by impartial or perhaps even ill-disposed senior officers, does not make it necessarily less subjective or self-revealing than private letters sent home to relatives, for young men only rarely have a practised knack of being personal and intimate in their private writings and had both professional and personal reasons for suppressing details of their more stressful military experiences when writing to their families.
