Bases of Bomber Command Then and Now (Hardcover)

Sixty years ago over 100 aerodromes in east and north-eastern
England were occupied by the men and machines of RAF Bomber
Command. The tenure of the majority of the bases was brief - some
six years - but during that time more than 55,000 men lost their
lives while flying from them to attack targets on the Continent.
Split into seven operational groups, the airfields of Bomber
Command formed the cornerstone of Britain's efforts to carry on the
war against Germany in the years before the landings in Normandy.
Thereafter they played their part in the battle against the
V-weapons with one of the last raids of the war being carried out
against Hitler's personal mountain retreat. Each airfield has been
explored and photographed in the "then and now" style of Roger
Freeman's previous books for After the Battle on the US Eighth and
Ninth Air Forces. The physical development, construction and
operational history of every airfield is described in detail and
all are illustrated with wartime and present-day aerial
photographs.
