From its establishment as a Royal Flying Corps training base during World War I, to its role as an American airbase during World War II, and its current status as a premier international air museum, RAF Duxford has played a significant part in Britain's aviation history.
This book tells the story of Duxford through over 200 photographs, showcasing the base's development from a humble training facility to a major military airfield, and finally, to a world-class museum.
