This book gives complete coverage of all the RAF airfields in World War
2 in Britain, including all the RAF Fighter, Bomber, Coastal, and
Transport Command airfields and bases of the period. Each airfield is
described with a short history, first-person accounts, and information
on airfield buildings, illustrated with photographs and maps, making
this book a complete and unique single-volume illustrated reference book
covering all of the RAF's frontline airfields in the UK during World War
2. General chapters also cover airfield construction and organization,
orders of battle for each command at notable points of the war, and a
significant part of the book is its tabular listings of RAF frontline
airfields, including full details of location and user squadrons/units.
Present-day usage of the airfields and the buildings is also covered.
Firsthand accounts by veterans of the four wartime commands add a layer
of compelling personal testimony to the book.
