Wilson, PhD Date approved March 28, 2011 ii THE BRITISH AIR CAMPAIGN DURING THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME, APRIL-NOVEMBER, 1916: A PYRRHIC VICTORY ABSTRACT The Battle of the Somme was Britain’s first major offensive of the First World War. Just about every facet of the campaign has been analyzed and reexamined. However, one area of the battle that has been little explored is the second battle which took place simultaneously to the one on the ground. This second battle occurred in the skies above the Somme, where for the first time in the history of warfare a deliberate air campaign was planned and executed to support ground operations. The British Royal Flying Corps (RFC) was tasked with achieving air superiority over the Somme sector before the British Fourth Army attacked to start the ground offensive.

    THE ROYAL NAVAL AIR SERVICE The Royal Naval Air Service and Anti-Submarine Warfare in the North Sea, 1917 – 19181 ALEXANDER HOWLETT Defence Studies Department, King’s College London Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper examines the role of the Royal Naval Air Service in the anti- submarine warfare and convoy protection campaigns of 1917-1918. During this crisis of the naval war, Britain’s naval aviators carried out coastal air patrols, directly bombed Germany’s submarine bases in Belgium, and flew aerial escort missions in support of merchant convoys. These operations are rarely considered in the literature on anti-submarine warfare, but form an integral component of the Royal Navy’s holistic approach to defeating Germany’s U-boats, and ultimately directly contributed to the allied victory in the First World War. Germany’s unrestricted submarine offensive of 1917-1918 represented the greatest threat to Britain’s command of the sea during the First World War. The Battle of Jutland, the only major encounter between dreadnought battle fleets between 1914- 1918, decided the outcome of the conflict at sea so far as Germany’s High Seas Fleet was concerned. Unrestricted submarine warfare, the submarine (U-boat) blockade of Britain’s merchant shipping, was now resumed by Germany’s naval leadership in the belief that their submarines represented the only means of defeating Britain in 1917. The details of the events which followed, from skyrocketing merchant shipping loss rates to the introduction of convoy escort and the suppression, although not complete victory, over the U-boats is well known.

  • FIRST THROUGH the CLOUDS Frontispiece
    **— k> V LOU F. WARREN MERRIAM PRICE 21$. NET S well as being the first man to fly his box-kite through the clouds Aof a misty summer morning and out into the sunshine above, Commander Warren Merriam was also well-known as one of the most successful of the early flying instructors. He it was who taught to fly many of the pilots of the first world war men who, twenty-five years later, had become senior officers of the R.A.F. One of them, Air Chief Marshal Sir Philipjoubert, bears flatter­ ing witness to Commander Merriam's qualities in the Foreword to this book. A. V. Roe, J. T. C.Moore-Brabazon, the Short Brothers, Geoffrey de Havilland, Colonel Cody, Claude Graham-White and T. O. M. Sopwith are others of the pioneers whom Commander Merriam knew in their early days and of whom he fascinatingly writes. Aviation was then still in a highly experimental stage and the revolutionary methods and early crashes of those days were the price which had to be paid for aerial supremacy in both world wars. Apart from its intrinsic interest, the story which Commander Merriam has to tell is of no little importance in the history of British aviation. Its fascina­ tion, and its vividness, is greatly in­ creased by the remarkable collection of fifty photographic illustrations of the early days of flying.
