ON THE BACK COVER
The result of over seven years of extensive research, drawing on personal accounts from former base personnel and official USAF documents, this book is the definitive history of the Bentwaters/Woodbridge `twin-base' complex during the postwar years, when it was home to a succession of US Airforce squadrons.
In addition to the history of the bases themselves, this book covers the histories of all the USAF units who served there and the aircraft types they operated.
Lavishly illustrated throughout with many rare and previously unpublished photographs, the concluding chapter brings the reader right up to the present day, with an insight into the development of the `Bentwaters Cold War Museum.
This book will be invaluable to any aviation enthusiast or historian who wishes to learn more about the USAF years at RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge.
