Fiat Justitia - A History of the Royal Air Force Police

'Fiat Justitia' freely translated means 'Let justice be done'. The RAF Police is the only RAF trade to receive the honour of having its own badge approved by the monarch, as pointed out in the Foreword by Air Commodore J. L. Uprichard CBE RAF. The author of this chronicle provides his readers, whether they be in active service or merely share an interest in modern military matters, with a carefully researched, yet entertaining and enjoyable history of the RAF Police from its birth in 1918 up to the present day. It describes the struggle which took place beween the two World Wars to retain the RAF as a viable entity and the expansion and exploits of its police force during and after the Second World War. The shrinking British Empire and the thawing of the Cold War all had their effect on the RAF Police as did the defence cuts which followed the Gulf War with Iraq. This account of the RAF Police is also a history of Great Britain during these past tumultuous decades and anyone interested in our political changes will find this book most rewarding and enlightening.Davies, Stephen R. is the author of 'Fiat Justitia - A History of the Royal Air Force Police' with ISBN 9781861063786 and ISBN 1861063784.
