Peter Jacobs is a former RAF Wing Commander and the author of several books. This is his fifth title in the Aviation Heritage Trail series and is a welcome addition to his recently published Bomber Command Airfields of Lincolnshire. His other recent titles for Pen and Sword include Daring Raids of World War Two; Heroic Land, Sea and Air Attacks, Setting France Ablaze; The SOE in France During WWII and Fortress Island Malta; Defence & Re-Supply during the Siege.
This is another well researched book from Peter Jacobs and one that
is a handy size to keep in the car. Whether you are a historian
with an interest in Bomber Command, or perhaps looking for the
place where your father, grandfather or other relative served
during the war and you are trying to trace more about their
experiences. While areas such as these continue to be developed it
is good to know just what remains to be seen of this period in our
history.--Military Model Scene
"I have seen similar books about airfields in East Anglia, now it's
the turn of the county of Yorkshire to receive this special
treatment. An amazing book."--Books Monthly
It is not only a mine of informative detail, but also discloses
some of the personal stories of men and women stationed at these
airfields. This book is an interesting and useful addition to
Bomber Command's essential role in the Second World War.--Yorkshire
