There are many very excellent books written on the exploits of the USAAF aircrew during the Second World War. Quite rightly the heroics and valour of these men, has been plentifully documented by year, by raid, by Bomb Group and by aircraft type. However the story of the men behind these planes and their crews has received very little attention, even though many were away from home for the entire duration of the conflict. Their story was equally as important to the final victory and this book has been written to go some way to redress that balance. These unique photographs give a close insight to their war.

Peter Bodie's career started as an Engineer, through draughtsman to designer, then to inventor. He invented the Passive Floor Path Marking Systems for passenger aircraft, and formed the manufacturing company that is now the leader in this technology. Its success has allowed him the time to pursue his writing interests and has completed thus far almost twenty published titles, mainly biographies and aviation history. He was a pilot of light aircraft for over 25 years and is married with a growing number of children and grandchildren.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Soldiers with Spanners is unique in that it tells the story of the men in the USAAF's 2nd Air Division during WWII, and better still, it shows it in pictures. To ass poignancy and accuracy, the majority of pictures were taken by the young men themselves. A few are taken by the Station Photographic Sections, but even then, they represent the part of the war seen through the eyes of a young man in a war zone, in a foreign country, away from their families for the first time. These historic pictures capture what went on behind the fence s of the many plots of 'Little America' that sprang up over East Anglia during the early 1940s. To the English who lived in the vicinity, they were almost foreign lands, but now we are able to pass those security gates to seethe pictures of the men, and a few of the girls at work, rest and play. There were good days and bad days, long days and short days - all captured in theis book as a lasting memento of what those G.Is went through. N° de réf. du vendeur 00104046501
