Night Bombing with the Bedouins
by Robert Henry Reece
About the author
Robert Henry Reece was born in 1889 and is known for Night Bombing with the Bedouins, published in 1919. The book is a short personal narrative drawn from his wartime experience and focuses on aerial operations during World War I.
His writing stands out for its direct, eyewitness quality. Rather than offering a distant history, it gives readers a close view of what early air warfare felt like, when flying itself was still new and dangerous.
Little else was clearly confirmed from the sources I found, so this overview keeps to the details that are well supported: his birth year, his authorship of Night Bombing with the Bedouins, and the book’s publication in the years just after the war.
