"Ever since it was officially opened in 1931 the base of Trenton Ontario has been the most important military airfield in Canada. It began as a flying training base and in the early war years was responsible for training flight instructors who in turn helped to train the thousands of pilots in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. After the war the base remained the home of Central Flying School and pilot training continued to be the primary activity. Post war expansion of commercial air traffic to and from Toronto gradually began to interfere with the freedom of movement of the trainers and in 1961CFS was moved to the open skies of the prairies and Trenton became the home of Air Transport Command. Throughout its 50 year history many thousands of airmen and airwomen have lived and worked here. Countless thousands more have passed through either on course or as air transport passengers. It is hoped that this book will be of interest to everyone who has been here by providing information about what happened here before or since their particular time at Trenton and by offering a nostalgic look at some of the people planes and places of their era."

"Alongside the Avro Lancaster Handley Page's Halifax bore the brunt of 'Bomber' Harris' strategic air offensiv e against Nazi Germany and over 6000 were built running to more than 20 variants.

In this book Brian R a p i e r e xamines the varying roles and theatres of operations in which this most versatile but much-maligned aircraft played its part - from the flak-torn night skies over northwest Europe to the swirling sands of the North American desert; f r om t he b le ak wa tery wastes of the North Atlantic to top-secret 'cloak & dagger' operations. Supported by the lucid recollections of former Halifax crewmen and an impressive selection of photographs and tone profiles it provides a fascin at ing in sig ht int o t h e l ife of this famous bomber and those who flew and died in her."

Developed during World War II by Boeing this American superbomber could carry a much heavier load and fly over greater distances than any aircraft then in existence. This feature became particularly important during the Pacific War when American aircraft had to fly well over a thousand miles and back to devastate the Home Isl ands of Japan. The apotheosis of the Superfortress came when it was chosen to carry the atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. In later versions it was used by the Americans during the Korean War with great effec t . T h e t echnical changes and use of this massive bomber is told brilliantly by John Pimlott of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

As a youngster he had devoured the magazines and books that told of the exploits an d adventures of the flying aces of World War I. When he came of age he took flying lessons so that when war came he was welcomed into the Army Air Corps. The metamorphosis of this young college student into a crack fighter pilot is the s u b j e c t o f this fast-moving memoir. The reader flies with Richard Turner into the largest sustained aerial conflict ever witnessed in history; past barrage balloons unmanned missiles and enemy fighters on hair-raising missions ranging from t he e sc or t o f he avy bombers Big Friends to accompanying the Supreme Allied Commander on his historic personal reconnaissance of the front lines the first time that a ground general had personally reconnoitered battle terrain in the prese nce of th e e nem y. Lt . C ol. Turner's memoirs also relate the rise to prominence of the Pioneer Mustang Group Little Friends as it aided the Eighth Air Force's heavy bombardment missions.

‎TAIL-END CHARLIE. ONE MAN'S JOURNEY THROUGH A WAR.‎

‎Macmillan London 1978. 187 pp 8vo 8 1/8" H hard cover in dust jacket. Ex-library. "The story of one man's journey through a war.including the funny bits frightening bits and idiotic bits. That is how John Wainwright approaches the subject of how he came to fly - and to survive - no less than seventy-two night bombing raids in Lancasters in the second world war. It was theoretically seventy-three raids - but he explains the circumstances that made the number officially even greater than it really was. On all these missions he flew as Rear-Gunner. As an introduction to this daunting experience he tells of his short adult working life in 'civvy street' before the Air Force claimed him. But the book is about flying the crew he flew with s o m e i n d i v idual raids perhaps above all his direct and down-to-earth recollections of 'what it was like'. John Wainwright does not deal in heroics 'stiff upper lips' the tradition of much recent writing about the war. Factual detail is p ar t of hi s bu si ne ss - such as in his description of what gear the rear-gunners donned for each flight unofficial as well as official: the unofficial armour to protect their manhood for instance. He defends his generation: 'Occasionally as in 19 39 war b eco mes th e lesser of two evils and at that moment it becomes not glorious but urgent.But let nobody suggest that we who fought that war enjoyed that war'.It is one man's journey through a war - a fascinating recollecti on in tran q uili ty by a man who lived through one of the most terrifying parts cast for those who acted in the Second World War."

‎Gibbs Patrick Wing Commander.‎

‎NOT PEACE BUT A SWORD.‎

‎London: Grub Street 1993. 256 pp large 8vo 9 7/16" H. B&w photographs. "After a short spell in a light bomber squadron flying Hawker Harts Gibbs was transferred to the Fleet Air Arm serving on the aircraft carriers 'Furious' and 'Courageous' mastering the Shark and Swordfish. Another move took Gibbs to Gosport as a flying instructor before he eventually joined a torpedo squadron. His readable and entertaining narrative describes a rapid and eventful progression from cadet to Flight Commander of a Beaufort squadron whilst also giving a clear impression of the society he lived in and the RAF itself struggling to come to terms with the dramatic changes war wrought upon a once peaceful country. Also illustrates Gibbs' increasing dedication to the airborne torpedo as a means for attacking coastal shipping.
