Action Stations Revisited

Descriere

Military airfields in Kent, through Sussex, Hampshire up to Swindon in Wiltshire are all in this new third volume of the Action Stations Revisited series. Instantly recognized names like Manston, Hawkinge, Odiham, Tangmere, Lee-on-Solent, Greenham Common, Thorney Island, Farnborough, and Wroughton mingle with less well known places such as Bekesbourne, Welford, Grain, Hartford Bridge, Throwley, Ramsbury, and Woodchurch. The relics of the little known story of the Sound Mirrors, Britain's early warning system before radar, are among the many previously unpublished accounts and photographs which illustrate this comprehensive coverage of Britain's front line airfields. The original Action Stations series was a major contribution to aviation literature; Actions Stations Revisitedwill prove anequally indispensable companion for any aviation historian.
