History: Flying Lieutenant Robert Evans represents the officers who commanded RAF Armoured Car Companies during the 1920s and 1930s, a time when the RAF was tasked with maintaining order across Britain’s overseas territories. Combining aerial reconnaissance with ground patrols, these units pioneered a new era of mobile warfare. Officers like Evans coordinated air–ground communication and directed operations across vast desert regions, particularly in Iraq and Palestine. Their efforts marked an innovative chapter in RAF history, demonstrating adaptability and strategic vision that influenced later armoured tactics in World War II.
