A history of the Cark airfield site - from the proposed airship
factory development in 1916-1917 to its wartime use as RAF Cark.
Including: No1 Staff Pilot Training Unit from 1942-1945 No 9 Light
Artillery Unit 650 Squadron Anti-Aircraft Cooperation Unit from
1942-1944. Also RAF Grange-over-Sands Equipment Officer's Training
School based in the Cumbria Grand Hotel from 1941-1944. A lavishly
illustrated and at times humorous journey through the history of
these establishments. This book will transport the reader far
beyond Cumbria to such diverse locations as Iceland, South Africa,
Canada, Australia, America and even Blackpool. In recognition of
the avid interest which still exists concerning the war years this
book is the author's attempt to illustrate what the conflict meant
to the South Furness peninsula and to engage the reader in his
long-standing and undiminished fascination with our local wartime
airfields."
