Hardcover. The Air Service came about when the Civil War caused the postponement of Michael Collins' plans for a civil air service. This title charts the history of the Air Corps from its early days as the Military Air Service established by Michael Collins in 1922 to the ineffective air operations conducted during the Second World War period. Num Pages: 360 pages, 8 pages of plates. BIC Classification: 1DBR; 3JJG; 3JJH; JWG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 241 x 163 x 34. Weight in Grams: 752. The Air Service came about when the Civil War caused the postponement of Michael Collins’s plans for a civil air service. After participation in the war of 1922–3 a small Air Corps was confirmed as the token air element of a substantially infantry army. The Army Air Corps survived the 1920s and 1930s, despite the absence of government defence policy and the Army leadership’s great indifference to military aviation. During the Emergency two squadrons of the Air Corps were given air force tasks for which they had little aptitude and for which they were totally unprepared in terms of personnel, airmanship, aircraft, and training, failures which lead directly to the demoralisation of the Air Corps.
