3.0 out of 5 stars Action Stations Revisited 6 2 Dec 2012
By MR
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very disappointing, despite the long wait for Volume 6. Badly written, with factual errors in the text and the picture captions. And incomplete: where are Anthorn and Hesketh Park? That said, it fills a gap. Maybe there will be a revised edition!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference Book for the Aviation Historian 13 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
An excellent update to the original Book 1 of the Series. Be aware that the title may be misleading if you think it covers all Stations in the UK. It is confined to East Anglia and Lincolnshire.

3.0 out of 5 stars Action Stations Revisted 6 7 Dec 2012
By Patrick M. Ray
Format:Hardcover
I have to agree with the last reviewer. In many ways it's a nice book and there's a lot in it that's of interest. But a quick flick through immediately revealed omissions. For example, the WW1 Armstrong Whitworth company airfield on Newcastle Town Moor is included - great! But, having covered that and established that WW1 is within its scope, why no mention of the operational aerodromes at Whitley Bay (RNAS) and Tynemouth (RAF)? They were missed out of the original volume on Northern England and Scotland as well, and I'ld have expected a new book published in 2012 to rectify this. The author quite rightly recommends the Airfield Information Exchange as one of the leading sources, and I notice that doesn't have entries for these sites either. Many of the photos, while interesting, are reproduced in a tiny size.

Having said that, I'ld like to stress that I honestly don't want to put potential buyers off - if you're looking for a book that provides good overall coverage of airfields in Northern England, this is well worth getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action Stations 4 July 2010
By Mr. APH Lloyd
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very good book, very pleased to see the author has updated it for the 21st Century. Sad to see some of the airfields I was stationed at as a lad, are now derelict. The book is well worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well set out 13 Dec 2000
By gordonmcquade@hotmail.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is a worthy successor to the original 11 volume 1970/80s series and covers the airfields in the same depth. The photographs are interesting and complement the text. This book is a must for any airfield historian... The book is subtitled "No1 Eastern England" so it is not a one off catch all volume. Full marks to the author for a great book...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as it makes out 26 April 2006
By Airfield Buff
Format:Hardcover
Action Stations which was the Original series (from which this author is attempting to feed off), was first class and the original authors had done all the hard work.

This "new" book has missed airfields especially in Lincolnshire that the original Book 'Action Stations 2' had clearly listed. This is very poor research, I know of many who are not impressed with this author or the series of books which are clearly trying to imply a link to the original series and authors. I note that Bowyer did one or two books in the original series, but he was not the author of the most important ones which dealt with Bomber County. Lincolnshire and Yorkshire were well written and researched in the original series and if anything, readers would be better served, especially historians, if these original books were reprinted.

To the reader who has not had the good fortune of reading the Original series I can understand their enthusiasm, but to those that have we can see a poor copy and pale shadow of far better work.

The reader would be wiser in at least getting second hand copies of the original series.
