Charged primarily with the support of ground forces in the invasion
of Normandy, the Ninth fielded a variety of aircraft - liaison,
fighter, bomber and troop carrier - and operated from over 60
airfields in Britain. In this work, they are explored and
photographed on the ground and from the air, ranging from the troop
carrier bases of central and southern England; the bomber airfields
in Essex and the New Forest, and the advanced landing grounds in
Kent and Hampshire - temporary expedients to enable fighters to
give close support to the battlefield. Then, the airfields were in
the front line, vibrant and full of activity as men and machines
prepared to do battle. Now, they have adopted new faces: as centres
of industry and international aviation or venues for leisure
activities and motor racing. Some still retain their war-like
status as military bases while others have returned to the plough
as the wheel turns full circle.
