Description
Here is the full history of RAF Marham, which played a key operational role in both the First and Second World Wars. Since then, it has hosted a fascinating variety of front-line bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, including the Boeing B-29 Washington, the Canberra, and the Valiant and Victor V-bombers, through to today's tornado. The book features Marham's Home Defence role in the First World War, repelling raiding Zeppelins and Gothas; describes its importance as a bomber base during the Second World War, its Wellingtons and Mosquitoes flying into mainland Europe; and details bomber and reconnaissance operations, with first-hand accounts from both aircrew and groundcrew.
