About the book >.>.> Between 1939 and 1945, Oxfordshire's airfields were kept continuously active in a variety of roles vital to the national war effort. Benson was the Headquarters for the RAF's Photographic Reconnaissance Unit, with its American equivalent based at nearby Chalgrove and Mount Farm. From these bases, pilots flew photographic missions over occupied Europe, tracking the movement of men and machinery and the damage inflicted by allied bombing. The interpretation of many of the thousands of photographs brought back was done at RAF Medmenham near Henley. Spectacular successes included the discovery of the V2 rocket site at Peenemunde and the awesome results of the Dambusters raid in 1943. Other airfields such as Abingdon, Edgehill, Harwell and Upper Heyford were dedicated to the training of pilots and crew while Brize Norton and Weston-on-the-Green specialised in training for towed gliders. These were to prove their worth in transporting both troops and equipment on D-Day and at Arnhem. (LL). Seller Inventory # Batch-FM433-VG-9901
