Description

Shropshire Airfields Through Time by Alec Brew explores the history of airfields in Shropshire, from their origins during World War I to their decline and eventual reuse. The book delves into the development of these airfields, particularly those built in the late 1930s for training purposes, and examines how they have been repurposed over time. Today, some of these airfields continue to be used by the RAF, while others have returned to agriculture or industry. Alec Brew's detailed research reveals the stories behind these iconic buildings, including derelict control towers that stand as reminders of a bygone era. This fascinating history provides a unique insight into Shropshire's role in aviation and its impact on the local community. With over 96 pages of photographs and information, Shropshire Airfields Through Time is a valuable resource for anyone interested in aviation history, regional studies, or photography.
