Britain's Aviation Memorials and Mementoes

{detailed description}In its relatively short life, aviation has added many hundreds of memorials to the ranks of those of Britain's earlier history. The first trans-Atlantic flights, the first military aerodrome, the first crossings of the North Sea, English Channel and Irish Sea — these are just a few of the monuments to the pioneering days of flight.
Two world wars gave us many more. RAF and American unit memorials abound, many of them extremely impressive. So do monuments to crash victims, air raid incidents, and acts of bravery — the list is endless. These tributes range from simple plaques in a country church or a lonely field to glorious stained glass windows in cathedrals, and elaborate structures like the breached dam memorial to 617 Squadron. Some are touchingly functional such as the memorial seat made from parts of an American bomber, or prayer kneelers embroidered with squadron badges.
The product of well over 20 years of research, this book is published in response to a surge of interest in the subject, and complements PSL's bestselling Action Stations series. Its scope is encyclopaedic. The appendices include such related subjects as aviation museums and airmen's graves — even public houses with aeronautical connections are not overlooked!
