About the Book

Formed in wartime Belfast in 1941, Queen’s University Air Squadron became a vital link between university life and the Royal Air Force. From its early days at Sydenham, training young men for wartime service, through decades of flying Tiger Moths, Chipmunks and Bulldogs over Northern Ireland, QUAS built a remarkable record of achievement, service and camaraderie.

Drawing on official records, photographs, personal memories and contemporary accounts, Guy Warner tells the story of a squadron that was shaped by war, post-war renewal, the coming of jet-age aviation, and the difficult years of the Troubles. Along the way are tales of first solos, summer camps, air displays, visiting dignitaries, sporting triumphs, mishaps, close calls and the everyday humour of squadron life.

Richly illustrated and carefully researched, Queen’s University Air Squadron: A History is both an aviation history and a tribute to the generations of students, instructors, ground staff and supporters who made the Squadron what it was. It will appeal to former members, aviation enthusiasts, Queen’s alumni and anyone interested in Northern Ireland’s military and flying heritage.
