Publisher description
The airfields of the Second World War peppered around Britain are among the most visible and widespread reminders of this devastating conflict. The physical evidence of these crucial bastions of defence range from single buildings to entire airfields. Some are almost forgotten or built over; others have become museums, industrial estates or parkland; and some have been adapted and remain in operation today. In this title, Stuart Hadaway explains the crucial part they played between 1939 and 1945: in preventing a Nazi invasion during the Battle of Britain; in forming a tight aerial defensive network; in helping to support operations overseas; and in making attacks behind enemy lines. He also explores what life was like on the airfields and developments in operations and technology as the war went on, as well as exploring some of the remaining sites and what can be seen today
