Description
After a staggering seven years of relentless research this book dives headfirst into the colourful history of the Bentwaters and Woodbridge twin-base complex during the Cold War era, when a cavalcade of US Air Force squadrons set up camp there, each one adding its own chapter to the story.
But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just a collection of dry facts; it’s a veritable treasure trove of personal accounts from those who lived it—former base personnel spilling the beans—and official USAF documents that add a touch of authenticity. And let’s not forget the aircraft! The book catalogues every USAF unit that graced the runways, complete with a line-up of the various flying machines they operated.
Illustrated throughout with a host of rare vintage photographs, this book is more than just a read; it’s a portal to an era. The final chapter is a nod to the ‘Bentwaters Cold War Museum’, offering a glimpse into how the legacy of these bases continues to unfold.
If you have even a smidgen of interest in aviation history or just an insatiable curiosity about what went on at RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, this book is your ticket. And for the former USAF personnel who once roamed those hallowed grounds, it’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane that you simply cannot miss.
