Action Stations 6: Cotswolds and Central Midlands

This sixth volume in the successful Action Stations series fills the middle ground between the existing five volumes as well as some of the gaps on the boundary areas of other titles. Among the numerous well-known airfields covered are Benson, home of photo reconnaisance and the Queen's Flight; Cardington, from where the ill-fated R-101 departed; Cranfield and Fairford; Edgehill, where most of our first jet flying took place; Little Rissington and Lyneham; Old Warden, today the home of the Shuttleorth Collection; Silverstone, Tempsford, Upper Heyford and Wittering, the Harrier base, plus dozens more.
