In this fascinating book the author chronicles the lives of ordinary people, of the airmen and others who were involved in the desperate struggle to free Europe from Nazi tyranny. Illustrated with many photographs, taken at the time, and since, this is a superb evocation of a period when two nations were suddenly thrown together in mutual cause, the resultant cultural clash, and the unbreakable bonds that were formed, lasting to the present day.

 

Martin W. Bowman has established an international reputation for his superb aerial photography. He is also a widely respected military historian who has written over seventy books on aviation and related subjects. Martin lives in Norwich, Norfolk, England and is active in historical research concerning East Anglia and the many RAF and USAAF squadrons that were based there during the War.

 

This latest book - The Air War In East Anglia is as a nostalgic salute to the US 8th Airforce in East Anglia. filled with atmospheric photographs and reminiscences from local people, it conjures a vivid impression of a period during the second world war when this rural corner of the country was transformed into Little America.

 

Martin Bowman will be talking and signing copies of his new book at the 2nd Air Division Memorial Library.
