A great wave of fundraising patriotic associations followed in the wake of Great Britain's declaration of war on Germany on 4 August 1914, at home but also right across the empire. The most successful public campaign of all was launched in London at the beginning of 1915. Known as the Imperial Aircraft Flotilla, the scheme aimed to attract contributions towards aircraft production costs from throughout the British Empire. Any country, locality, or community that provided sufficient funds for an entire aeroplane could have it named after them. It was promised that when the machine crashed or was shot down, the name would be transferred to a new one of the same type.

Margaret Hall examines the Imperial Aircraft Flotilla as a facet of imperial history. She analyzes the fundraising efforts in Canada and Newfoundland  the Zanzibar Protectorate  Fiji, Mauritius, and the Caribbean  Hong Kong  the Malay states and Straits Settlements  West Africa, especially Gold Coast  Southern Rhodesia  Basutoland  Swaziland and the Union of South Africa  the Indian empire and Burma  (British subjects in) independent Abyssinia and Siam  in the Shanghai International Settlement, and the British community of Argentina  Australia  and New Zealand. This remarkable and detailed book discusses the propaganda and counter-subversion usages of the Imperial Aircraft Flotillaand what the support for the imperial war effort reveals about contemporary national and regional identities and aspirations.
