This is a high-quality reference book on the bases used by Bomber Command mainly during World War 2 (1939-45). There were more than 100 bases used
in east and north-eastern England between 1939-45 and most of them were occupied only for the wartime years. Bomber Command used them for operations in the air war against Nazi Germany until D-Day, the invasion of North-western Europe on 6 June 1944. After D-Day one of Bomber Command’s top priorities were the V-weapon sites.

Bomber Command was split into seven operational Groups and the book adopts this as a basis to present and discuss the airfields. The airfields are then listed alphabetically by name and each airfield is given an excellent and detailed narrative which is supported by period and modern photographs. The author must have spent a huge amount of time researching the text for the various entries and in locating period imagery.

Undoubtedly this superb volume will become the reference work on Bomber Command Bases. If you need to know the history of such a base, then this book is the first place that you should start with. The details in the narrative sections are well-written and highly descriptive.

Overall, the author has produced a first-class reference book and he should be highly commended for all his efforts. He deserves at least a “well done” and the high-quality of his research work shows through.
