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.

FINAL REDUCTIONS
The Lancaster Story [B95]
The Avro Lancaster took the air war back to the Luftwaffe in the nick of time, flying its first operations in the spring of 1942. Its impact was so dramatic that, just three years later, the RAF had 56 squadrons equipped with this sturdy, effective bomber.
Over 3,800 Lancasters were lost during their 156,308 operational sorties in the Second World War. Bomber Command success was bought at a heavy price. With 192, high quality pages and hundreds of images from across the Lancaster era, this hardback special makes a fantastic addition to any aviation book collection.
