To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force, today we look back at article from the October 1918 edition of Overseas, written by the founder of Handley-Page Aircraft, one of Britain's foremost aerospace companies for decades and a constituent part of BAE Systems, which today is one of the world's largest defence contractors. His vision for the aircraft, which sees it rival the car as the transport of the masses, wasn't too far off.
If you would like to join in the celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the RAF, London will be hosting a number of celebrations, including a parade and flypast, on Tuesday 10 July, centred on the Mall, only yards from the clubhouse. To find out more, visit the RAF website here.
