  • Product Description

    Now in paperback for the first time, the first volume of Richard Smith's popular and well received study of the illustrious airfield and its distinguished pilots.

    Taking the reader through World War One (as Sutton's Farm), when early RFC pilots were hailed as the knights of the air, through the 1930s to the outbreak of war, household names abound Leefe Robinson, 'Sailor' Malan, Bob Stanford Tuck, Brian Kingcome, Al Deere, Paddy Finucane, Eric Lock, and many more. But it was as a main Sector Station in both the Dunkirk evacuation and the Battle of Britain, that Hornchurch achieved lasting fame. Its record is second to none and after 7 years of exhaustive research interviewing commanders, pilots, ground-crews and WAAFs, Richard Smith has written the complete history, with unique photographic coverage.
