Table of Contents

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This volume of Airfields and Airmen books has only been possible due to the help of Walter Pieters, who supplied all the information for the Aviation Militaire Belge ( AMB ) plus the photographs. I recommend his book Above Flanders Fields .

Yet again I am extremely indebted to Alex Imrie for all his help. About a third of the photographs are from his collection.

I would also like to thank Sylvia Menzies of Pen and Sword, who has done yet another splendid job on the book layout.

My next thanks have to go to Jim Davies and Barry Gray. Jim has, as usual, spent considerable time and effort in proof-reading, writing directions and many other tasks for the book, plus flying the aeroplane for the aerial shots. Barry has produced many of the images, spending thankless hours in his darkroom.

I would also like to thank the following: Colin Ashford GAvA for his usual splendid cover illustration; Paul Baillie; Nigel Cave; the staff of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission; Jacques de Ceuninck; N R Cunningham-Reid; Bernard Deneckere; Air Vice-Marshal Peter Dye; Marco Fernndez-Sommerau; the German War Graves Commission; the late Hal Giblin; Dorothy Gough; Barry Greenwood; Christine Gregory, latterly of the RAF Museum; Tim Harper; Trevor Henshaw; Phil Jarrett; Jeff Jefford; Jan Keohane of the Fleet Air Arm Museum; Peter Kilduff; Stuart Leslie for his enormous help with photographs; Bob Lynes; Tony Mellor-Ellis; Simon Moody, also latterly of the RAF Museum; Roger Nixon; the staff at Pen and Sword, the staff of the Public Record Office; Keith Rennles; Alex Revell; Ray Rimell; the staff of the Service Historique de l Arme delAir ; William Spencer; Stewart K Taylor; Keith Thomas; Alan Toelle; Alan Wakefield of the Imperial War Museum; Aaron Weaver; Mike Westrop; Brigadier Henry Wilson and Lawrie Woodcock and Greg VanWyngarden;

Every effort has been made to contact the authors of the various books or articles quoted and their copyright is acknowledged.
