All RAF squadron histories evoke enormous feelings of pride, not on a necessarily national basis, but simple human pride. 207 Squadron is a famous unit, that is well documented, but what this history does is present the facts, the dates the names and the places, from the early beginnings from 7 Squadron RNAS in 1917 to the V Force and the cold war days. The important backbone are all the listings, complete with photographs and colour profiles, but I was struck by the amount, or variety, of aircraft types the squadron flew, from Voisin to BE2c, 1½ Strutter to Short Bomber and DH9a to the Fairey IIIF, and that is before practically all the British built WW2 bomber types including the Lancaster. Stories and episodes abound, and the text makes this something the writer succeeded gallantly to do.
