"Sixty Squadron R.A.F.: A History of the Squadron from its Formation" by Group-Captain A. J. L. Scott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the formation and experiences of No. 60 Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps, later part of the Royal Air Force, during World War I. The narrative is centered on the squadron's combat operations, the evolution of aerial warfare, and the remarkable courage of the pilots who engaged in this new form of warfare high above the battlefield. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the context of aerial combat during World War I, highlighting the squadron’s formation amidst the early days of the Royal Flying Corps. It describes the initial functions of airmen, which included reconnaissance and occasional bombing missions, before transitioning into air-to-air combat. The text emphasizes the development of specialized fighting techniques and machine designs, painting a vivid picture of the challenges and dangers faced by the pilots, who often fought alone in their machines while exhibiting bravery and ingenuity in the perilous skies above the trenches.
