In February 2016, the RAF's Search and Rescue Force (SARF) marked its 75th anniversary, a remarkable testament to the dedicated service of its personnel. However, despite valiant efforts by numerous individuals, including HRH Prince William, to preserve the renowned and esteemed service as part of the RAF, it was officially disbanded in June of that same year. This book, an official and comprehensive account of the SARF's rich and illustrious history, spans from its origins in World War II to its recent withdrawal. It features a foreword penned by HRH Prince William himself, accompanied by captivating photographs from the RAF's extensive archive and exclusive interviews with former crewmembers, sharing their own thrilling tales of daring rescues. Officially endorsed by the RAF, "The Official Illustrated History of the RAF Search and Rescue" stands as the first and perhaps the sole major publication dedicated to this subject. It is an indispensable acquisition for anyone with a deep interest in military history, British history, the Royal Family, and the captivating stories of extraordinary and daring rescue missions.
