Product Description

Product Description

This series of books provides a fresh user-friendly look at the military airfields of the British Isles. The series is split geographically, each book including a number of counties on a regional basis. Entries cover every military airfield within the counties, from WW1 to the present day and comprise: brief history of the airfield, construction and use including decoy sites; comprehensive list of flying units with dates and aircraft types; list of HQ units based at the airfield; details of memorials; maps and plans of almost every airfield; location details; and selection of period photographs. Bomber airfields of WWII dominated Northern England, with the Vale of York at its operational centre, but the area was also home to much aircraft manufacture, and the western side of the region trained thousands of aircrew in relative safety. Today it is almost all gone.


About the Author

Ken Delve left the RAF after a twenty-year flying career to become Editor of Flypast magazine and subsequently Editor-in-Chief with Key Publishing with responsibility for eight aviation magazines. An established author, he also lectures on RAF history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know, 4 Aug 2009
By Mr. Philip J. Teare - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For people like me who are interested in the old RAF bases,these series of books are a must.
I originally bought the book because it included the 3 bases on the Island(Ronaldsway,Andreas and Jurby),but my interest grew through this book to further afield.
I grew up at Jurby in the Isle of Man not 50 yds from the old camp and airfield. I've played there as a kid,worked there and even raced bikes around the old airfield,so it was interesting to find out why it was there and what used be there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Priced and Fact Packed, 26 Feb 2006
By Egon Pedersen (Westfalen) - See all my reviews
Another area from a well priced and fact packed set of books, and a must for anyone interested in the World War 2 military history of Britain. Ken Delve covers every airfield in each area, including World War 1 with a brief history, including decoy sites, comprehensive lists of all flying units with dates and aircraft types, as well as maps and plans of almost every airfield..
