Richard Townshend Bickers

    Richard Bickers si distingue come autore di riferimento sulla RAF e il suo predecessore, la RFC, con un record di pubblicazioni senza precedenti. La sua multilinguismo gli consente di condurre ricerche originali in archivi esteri, interviste e corrispondenza, arricchendo le sue narrazioni. Le sue prime opere creative, inclusi racconti e articoli, furono pubblicate e trasmesse durante il suo servizio attivo come ufficiale della RAF, con i suoi primi quattro romanzi apparsi prima del suo congedo militare. I suoi scritti approfondiscono la storia del potere aereo, spesso ambientati nei drammatici contesti dei tempi di guerra.
