Wild Blue Yonder [B293]

‘Two nations divided by a common language’: this was never more true than in 1942 when the first American airmen arrived in the UK. Young Americans were puzzled, amazed and often exasperated by the mysteries of British speech, food, manners and plumbing.
Martin Bowman has interviewed hundreds of veterans, from decorated pilots to British civilians who, as children, were entertained on US bases and have never forgotten the forging of an enduring alliance.
Set over 224 high quality pages, with hundreds of full-colour and black and white original images, Wild Blue Yonder pays homage to the friendships formed in battle and their ability to stand the test of time long after the last shot is fired.
