An illustrated introduction to the military airfields of Britain and the essential roles they played in the Second World War.

The airfields of the Second World War peppered around Britain are among the most visible and widespread reminders of this all-consuming conflict. The physical evidence of these crucial bastions of defense range from single buildings to entire airfields. Some are almost forgotten or built over; others have become museums, industrial estates, or parkland; and some have been adapted and remain in operation today. In this title, Stuart Hadaway explains the crucial part they played between 1939 and 1945: in preventing a Nazi invasion during the Battle of Britain; in forming a tight aerial defensive network; in helping to support operations overseas; and in making attacks behind enemy lines. He also explores what life was like on the airfields, and developments in operations and technology as the war went on, as well as exploring some of the remaining sites and what can be seen today.
