Leicestershire Airfields in the Second World War by Martyn Chorlton
This book gives a detailed account of the part played by each airfield in the two counties during the second world war. During this time, some twelve additional military airfields were built in the counties to support the war effort. Bottesford, Woolfox Lodge and North Luffenham, in particular, played key roles in Bomber Command operations.
Martyn Chorlton was born in the north Cambridgeshire fens during the late 1960s, joining the RAF as an Air Photographer in 1984. After tours in Germany and Northern Ireland, his service came to an end in 1997 and, a few years later, cut his writing teeth on an Airfield Focus. To date he has 14 published books under his belt. In 2004 he launched Old Forge Publishing, which has now produced another 17 books. That same year he also began freelancing for the aviation magazine fraternity and has continued this ever since. Currently, Martyn is a regular contributor to Aeroplane Monthly, Jets, Airfix and Aviation Classics.
