Or indeed, any of the After the Battle books on the subject. this link should take you to the books page. http://www.afterthebattle.com/imagetest.htm Have scroll down. Also available are the reproduced airfield site plans, also from ATB which can be found at many on-line specialist stores (motorbooks springs to mind) and they’re only a couple of quid.

One book which is just as indespensible andalso part of the Action Stations series is D. J. Smith’s suppliment “Britain’s Military Airfields: 1939-1945 (also published by PSL).

There are also a whole raft of airfield monographs, again you can find these at many online shops (I refer back to Motorbooks, bu tthere plenty of others).

Hope this helps.

When it comes to military airfields in the UK can I recomend the Action Stations series of books, from PSL, which are completely indespensible.

Or if you’re really interested in WW2 airfields, you should consider joining the UK’s Airfield Research Group where you will learn about many other excellent publications (past and present) on this subject.

Obvious question but have you tried contacting the publishers? They might have some back issues going back that far. There are many members on these forums who are more familar with Key Publishing (and Flypast) these days than me, who can probably tell you the availability of back issues. Just a thought!

What does the poster actually depict? (Yes, I know it’s likely to be an airfield, but give us a clue!)
