Haunted Second World War Airfields: Northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland (3) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
In this volume the emphasis shifts from Fighter command and USAAF to the RAF and the RCAF and the Bomber airfields of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, together with a few examples from Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Here we find Bomber command at its most active, and from where it suffered most of the losses, and indeed where some of the most haunted airfields in Britain are to be found. Here we find famous names like East Kirkby, Scampton, and Coningsby, where the Battle of Britain Flight is now based. The RAF Bomber Command Memorial lists 55,573 names, a Bomber Command crew member had a worse chance of survival than an infantry officer in World War I Old Bomber airfields are lonely atmospheric places, and anyone who has visited a Second World War control tower on a bomber airfield wil perhaps have experienced the sadness that seems permeates the place, or the sense of waiting or of loss, or the strange coupling of a coldness on a warm day with the feeling of not being alone there This volume details researched accounts, personal communications from witnesses and my own investigations on what are probably the most haunted of our airfields

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 2016 Fonthill Media paperback edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. Convincing reports of ghosts and inexplicable happenings have radiated from countless airfields since the First World War, but why are so many of them haunted? The answer may seem obvious, but a true understanding can only be attained through a careful study of the history of each airfield and the squadrons that passed through them. The emphasis of this final volume shifts from Fighter Command and the USAAF to the RAF, the RCAF, and the bomber airfields of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, together with a few examples from the north of England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Here, we find Bomber Command at its most active, where it suffered most of its losses, and where some of the most haunted airfields in Britain are located. This includes famous names like East Kirkby, Scampton, and Coningsby, where the Battle of Britain Flight is now based. The RAF Bomber Command Memorial lists 55,573 names; a Bomber Command crewmember had a worse chance of survival than an infantry officer in the First World War.
