Synopsis:

This volume completes PSL's updating of the "Action Stations" series, and covers Greater London in detail. All the military airfields in the area are listed alphabetically, and each entry describes the background to the establishment of the airfield, the hangers and control tower. Featuring in depth, both the Battle of Britain and the defence of London against the Blitz, as well as later cross-Channel operations, this illustrated book also includes new sections on German airfield camouflage, and the RAF Airfield Construction Branch. All the military airfields in the region are listed alphabetically with exact location and map reference. The book details well-known aviation locations such as Biggin Hill, Henley, Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton and air defence headquarters at High Wycombe and Uxbridge. There are also new sections on the RAF Airfield Construction Branch and German airfield camouflage.
