With the outbreak of the Great War in August 1914, British civil aviation, still in its embryonic state of development, came to an abrupt halt. This state of affairs endured until it was once more permitted in May 1919. For the duration of hostilities, non-service flying was mostly confined to the testing and manufacture of increasingly complex machines. Whilst in no way as hazardous as operational flying, this task was not without risk. From 1919 onwards, British civil aviation once again threw up challenges, with bigger, more powerful, aircraft, and experienced pilots to fly them. Accidents were bound to happen and they did.

This second volume of the British Civil Air Accident Record details every recorded civil aviation accident in Britain, or involving British aircraft and pilots overseas, along with its investigation, and the lessons learned. It draws on official documents and contemporary accounts. Copiously illustrated with photographs from the time, the series is the most comprehensive work covering this vital aspect of aviation history.
