"The Klaxon Call: Air-Land Cooperation at the Battle of Vimy Ridge" looks at how the savagery of the fighting on the ground was matched by the war in the air. For the men of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) – and there were many Canadians among them – this was the start of “Bloody April”.
March will briefly examine the evolution of the corps squadron within the British Army and speak about the Canadian Expeditionary Force’s experience with air support during the lead up to the Battle of Arras and then focus on air-land cooperation during those fateful days in April.
