Description
Discover the crucial role Britain's airfields played in the Second World War. This beautifully illustrated history explores the construction, expansion, and functions of these airfields, from command and control to maintenance and bomb-loading.
Aviation historian Stuart Hadaway delves into the lives of those who worked on the airfields, as well as the many functions they housed, and how they were used for both defense and offense. He also lists some of the remaining sites and what can be seen today.
With detailed insights into the airfields' past, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of aviation and the Second World War.
