The Second World War airfields peppered around Britain are among the most visible and widespread reminders of this devastating conflict. Some are now almost forgotten or built over; others have become museums, industrial estates or parkland; and some have been adapted and remain in operation today. In this beautifully illustrated history, aviation historian Stuart Hadaway explains the crucial part airfields played between 1939 and 1945, detailing their construction and expansion; their facilities and equipment; the many functions they housed from command and control to maintenance and bomb-loading; how the airfields were used both for defence and offence; and how they changed during the war. He also explores what life was like on the airfields, as well as listing some of the remaining sites and what can be seen today.
Stuart Hadaway qualified as a museum curator in 2001 and worked in military museums at a local and national level until 2009 when he joined the Air Historical Branch (RAF) as Senior Researcher for the Official Historians of the Royal Air Force. He is currently the Research and Information Manager at the Branch, but his interest has always been in World War I and the Middle East. He has written seven books on military topics and runs the Egyptian Expeditionary Force in WWI Facebook group.
