Peter London. U-Boat Hunters: Cornwall’s Air War, 1916-19. Truro: Dyllansow Truran, 1999. RNAS airship and aeroplane anti-submarine operations: some success under pretty trying conditions.
Richard Overy. 1939: Countdown to War. London: Allen Lane, 2009. I’ve now met the author!
Robert Stradling. Your Children Will Be Next: Bombing and Propaganda in the Spanish Civil War 1936-1939. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2008. Argues that the memory of Guernica has obscured earlier atrocities, especially the 1936 bombing of Getafe near Madrid. A complete chance find in the shop at the National Museum Cardiff (though it might have been cheaper to order it over the net than fly to Wales to buy it).

Robert Stradling has also written an article about the supply of horses to the early-modern Spanish army, so he’s probably the only historian to have published on your PhD topic and mine. Now we need someone to write a book about horses and bombing at the same time…

I hear Overy is nine feet tall, and has fangs six inches long!

Gavin:
Perhaps a chance for a collaboration?
Erik:
You’re half right.

Excellent – have you taken in Mullion yet? That was a hotbed of RNAS blimp activity in Big Mistake One.
-
Hang on, does that mean that Overy is 4′6″ and has fangs 3″ long?
-
Now are you sure you have room to take them back!!
-
Not at all!
