Raf Duxford: A History in Photographs from 1917 to the Present Day

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. With its rich history spanning nearly a century, RAF Duxford is a fascinating subject for anyone interested in aviation, military history, or the development of Britain's air force.
