Written by an accomplished military aviation author, this new study
is the result of many years of research, and will be essential
reading for all historians of the period and keen aviation
enthusiasts. There is growing interest today in the Cold War era in
British history. This new book provides a new study of Cold War
airfields that will be of interest to all those who study airfield
history and archaeology. This new title provides a background to
the Cold War airfields in Britain. Phillip Birtles gives readers an
airfield by airfield coverage of those in operation from the start
of the Cold War during the Berlin Air Lift in the late 1940s to the
end of the Cold War with the fall of the Berlin Wall at the end of
the 1980s. The book covers both RAF/FAA and USAF airfields in
Britain, and charts the changes that took place at these airfields
in this period including the development of aircraft from the first
postwar jet aircraft to aircraft types that are still flying today.
Alongside descriptive text outlining each airfield, the units and
aircraft operating from that airfield and its role in the Cold War
are also explained in great detail. Descriptive text is
complemented by almost 200 contemporary photographs, colour and
black and white, maps and airfield plans.
