Throughout WWII, Suffolk airfields and the airmen of Bomber Command made a vital contribution to the war effort. Smith, the author of numerous aviation books, describes this history of the airfields, the air war in Suffolk, and the young men who flew against desperate odds, from 1939 to the post-war era. A final chapter looks at memorials and monuments created for the airmen. Historical b&w photos are included. The book is distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
