RNAS
Evening all. I am wondering if anyone on the forum would be able to recommend a book on the story of the Royal Naval Air Service?
My grandfather served with them from 1915, and whilst there is a reasonable amount of literature out there, I have not a lot relating to their bases in East Anglia and anything to do with training.
He was a rigger, not aircrew.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

With regards to the RNAS in East Anglia I can recommend two books - 'Seaplanes-Felixstowe' by Gordon Kinsey published by Terence Dalton 1978 and 'The Story of a North Sea Air Station' (Great Yarmouth) by C.F. Snowden Gamble published by the OUP in 1928 with a more recent reissue also available. Both these titles can be found on ABE BOOKS the former being very much cheaper than the latter classic !
