Fighter Command Station At War
A Photographic Record Of RAF Westhampnett
From The Battle Of Britain To
D-Day And Beyond
This
book tells the story of a fighter
command base in Sussex initially known as RAF Woodcote by the ground crew but
later RAF Westhampnett. The author details how It served the country - without
fail - for such a long period of time. From the Battle of Britain through to
Arnhem. It is a touching book that includes many first hand accounts by pilots
and ground crew and a large number of black and white images of those squadrons
and ground crew associated with the airfield. Well researched and well worth a
read.
