This text looks at the less glamorous war efforts such as constructing Nissan huts, airfields and sewage disposal schemes in Middle Wallop, conducting bomb trials in Orfordness, devising mud hut officers' messes in Nigeria and carved out caves in Massawa. This is a facsimile edition of a declassified Royal Air Force publication entitled Works. It is an engineer's history of the work of the Air Ministry Directorate-General from 1935 to 1945, and a technical paper on ten years of constructional work.

The RAF and Aircraft Design
This work examines the evolution of the RAF's operational requirements for its home defence air force - for bombers to mount a deterrent counter offensive and for fighters to provide direct defence of Britain. It discusses the management processes, policies and decisions relevant to operational requirements on the basis of a detailed study of Air Ministry papers of the time. By tracing the development of operational requirements, the author exposes the thinking behind the RAF's quest for effective fighter and bomber aircraft. He describes the ideas and concepts of air warfare that were adopted in the 1920s, and shows how these evolved into the Air Staff's requirements for the aircraft which the RAF entered and fought in World War II.
