THE AIM WAS GOOD
I HOLD MY AIM. By C. H. Keith. (George Allen and Unwin Lid.) ROUP-CAPTAIN KEITH, a serving officer in the R.A.F. from its formetion, held during the vital ‘thirties an important job in the Air Ministry at the head of a group of armament technicians, Among other things he shows us (continued on next page)
(continued from previous page) how much of the success of the fighter pilots in the Battle of Britain’ was due to the quality of their weapons, a quality achieved by years of painstaking research and unresting seeking after the best by the "backroom boys," experts in many different branches of science and engineering. There_is enough detailed description for the layman to understand the inter-action of tactics and technical achievement, This agreeable book is frequently enlivened by anecdotes of service life, and of travel in different parts of the world, which fully reveal the genial character of the author. The whole book reveals his high sense of duty and reminds us how far the permanent officer is the veritable sinew and strength of his service, both in peace and in war.
