Scotland's contribution to allied success in the Second World War was
colossal. The Lothian region employed thousands of workers in the
building of warships, aircraft components, military vehicles, munitions,
food and coal. This thoroughly researched and action packed book
describes the history of the airfields, highlights the work carried out
from them and describes the overall effect of the war on the daily lives
of local people. It will appeal equally to aviation enthusiasts and to
readers who recall the era when Scottish skies throbbed with the drone
of departing and returning aircraft.
