Portrait of an Air Force: The Royal New Zealand Air Force 1939-1987. The RNZAF story begins with the pioneering efforts of a handful of post-World War One flying enthusiasts, with the formation of the Kohimarama and Sockburn flying schools and with the years of indifference when lack of government interest hampered the growth of military aviation. Portrait of An Air Force goes on to tell of the modest expansion programme launched in 1937 by Ralph Cochrane, the first RNZAF Chief of Air Staff, and the rapid development forced by the advent of the Second World War in which New Zealanders served with conspicuous gallantry in every theatre. Geoffrey Bently describes the achievements of No.75 (New Zealand) Bomber Squadron, the New Zealand Spitfire Squadron and the other RNZAF dominated RAF units. He also traces the RNZAF involvement in the South-West Pacific campaign and relates the heroic last stand of a New Zealand squadron of the RAF at the fall of Singapore.
