Covering the period from the end of World War One to the end of World War Two, this book explores the development of the major stalwart of military aviation: biplanes. Post-World War One, the demand for military aircraft diminished. Even so, new designs emerged, and innovation took place aided by engine and materials research and development. Again, not all aircraft were successfully entered into service. Following on from British Military Biplanes: 1912?19, this book is a unique reference source for aviation historians and enthusiasts.
