This 'Definitive Account of the RAF Fighter Airfield, its Pilots, Groundcrew and Staff from 1915 to the end of The Battle of Britain' first appeared in hardback in 2000. As Suttons Farm the airfield was built for the RFC in 1915 for the fighter defence of London in World War I. Many famous names served there - John Slessor (later Chief of Air Staff), the first pilot to intercept a Zeppelin, Leefe Robinson, Wulstan Tempest and the father of our own Freddie Sowrey among them. At one stage Leefe Robinson's flight had accounted for 3 Zeppelins and had 1 VC and 2 DSOs to show for it, and they probably put an end to the Zeppelin menace over London, although the Gothas had to be dealt with subsequently. At the end of the War, the airfield reverted to farmland again, but by April 1928 was reopened as a much extended RAF Station, which gained immortal glory in the Battle of Britain. The story is beautifully told and well illustrated. A large number of contemporary accounts from both servicemen and civilians enhance it greatly, as do the useful Appendices and Index.
