We consider the effect of the R{sup 4} term in type IIA string theory on the supergravity background dual to N{sub c} D4-branes compactified on a circle with supersymmetry breaking boundary conditions. We study the dynamics of D8-branes in this perturbed geometry in the probe approximation. This leads to an analysis of higher derivative corrections in holographic QCD beyond the supergravity approximation. We make a rough estimate of the corrections to the masses of some of the lightest (axial) vector mesons. The corrections are suppressed by a factor of (g{sub YM}{sup 2}N{sub c}){sup -3} compared to their supergravity values. We find that the masses of these mesons increase from their supergravity values.
