During the Second World War, thousands of American servicemen were
uprooted from the US and deposited in rural England and immediately
thrust unceremoniously into the frontline of the largest conflict
the world has ever seen. Fortunately, many remembered to pack small
cameras in kitbags and snapped photographs of their everyday lives
as the war unfolded. Yank Bomber Boys in Norfolk: A Photographic
Record of the USAAF in the Second World War features over 500 of
these personal photographs to produce a unique flavour of life in
and around these airbase plots of 'Little America' in Norfolk. None
of the photos used in this fascinating book have been utilised from
professional sources; the shots from the station's own Photographic
Section were the top of the admissible list. Many of these
photographs were taken on cheap box cameras and the single prints
they produced have been kept for decades by the GIs and their
families in the States. Others have been painstakingly collected,
documented and restored by a group of British archivists who have
kindly allowed the author access to their priceless collections.
This is how the Second World War looked to those airmen who were
there.
