Tracing its origins back to 1922 the Irish Air Corps is one of the smallest air arms in Western Europe, yet it has been equipped with a wide variety of aircraft types over its 87 year history. Here in one volume is a complete account of every aircraft and helicopter type operated by the Air Corps, each illustrated with colour photos or high quality colour profiles for the types for which only black and white photos exist. Visually stunning, this definitive guide sheds new light on an important aspect of Ireland's aviation heritage. The book is intended to bring to the publics attention some little known facets of the Air Corps from the past such as gliding at Baldonnel using gliders built during the 1930s, the use of amphibious aircraft during WW2, operation of such iconic aircraft as Spitfires and Hurricanes and the introduction of the first jet to see Air Corps service, the de Havilland Vampire.
