That period between the wars, and during WWII , about the RAF based in the protectorates seems to be glossed over by many historians. I think the main reason for the RAF being there was to keep an eye on the oilfields and pipelines.

De Havilland DH9a aircraft were long serving relics of WWI that served in that part of the world until the early 1930's, too.

Regards.
