Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This illustrated, action-packed book contains a full account of the part played by Yorkshire's airfields during the Second World War. The history of each airfield is described, with details of the squadrons and aircraft based at them and the main operations flown. The subject is brought vividly to life with detailed accounts, alongside photos of the airmen themselves and their aircraft. It has often been said that during the Second World War, Britain resembled a gigantic aircraft carrier. Of no county was this image more true than Yorkshire. Between 1940 and 1945, the RAF carried out over 100,000 sorties from some 25 Yorkshire airfields, losing more than 18,000 men, of which some 15,000 came from Bomber Command. The aircraft, especially Halifaxes, Whitleys and Wellingtons, and the airmen who flew them, made a vital contribution to the ultimate defeat of the Third Reich, as they undertook increasingly larger raids across the North Sea into the dangerous, smoke-filled skies of occupied Europe. Today, there are still frequent reminders of those dark days and nights. Memorials mark the exploits of the squadrons as well as individual crash sites. Elsewhere, the remains of derelict airfields can still be found - patches of crumbling concrete; a surviving hangar overgrown with creeper; and huts now filled with bales of hay where once men slept, ate and prepared to go into battle. This is their story. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. There's a reason Lincolnshire earned the nickname 'Bomber County'. Half a century ago, it was the very heartbeat of Britain's formidable air power. This action-packed book explores Lincolnshire's rich RAF history - in particular the crucial role it played during the Second World War. Get ready to travel back in time to the days when the skies above Lincolnshire never ceased to throb with the drone of departing and returning aircraft. It might seem hard to imagine it now, but at the peak of wartime aviation, Lincolnshire was home to some 46 military airfields. These airfields covered an estimated 30,000 acres of the county, accommodating 80,000 RAF personnel, including squadrons from America, Australia, Canada and Poland. Britain's most famous airmen of all, the Dambusters, had their base here. Each of those airfields is described here, and details of its wartime function given. Also highlighted are the many and varied aircraft that comprised the operational units. Numbered among them are the Lancaster, Manchester, Hampden, Wellington, Hurricane, Spitfire and Beaufighter. These, and the young airmen who flew them, made an immense contribution to the defeat of the Third Reich, as Allied bombers and fighters flew increasingly larger raids across the North Sea and into the dangerous smoke-filled skies of occupied Europe.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Following the recent unveiling of the monument to Bomber Command in London's Green Park, the publication of this lovingly crafted account of the exploits of oft overlooked 1 Group is set to be a timely one. Patrick Otter combines an appropriate level of detail regarding operations, aircraft, bases and incidents, with accounts of human endurance and squadron fraternity, which works to create a thoroughly well researched account of the wartime proceedings of 1 Group which is rooted firmly in humanity. The book is heavily illustrated throughout with both images of aircraft and pilot profiles, supplementing the text perfectly and working further to humanize the accounts which the author relays, as well as satisfying the Aviation buffs curiosity for new and interesting images of aircraft in their wartime contexts. Although often considered a somewhat controversial operational unit, the bravery of the men who made up Bomber Command has never been in question. This book is further testament to that fact. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
