Dust jacket is also fine showing a two seat spitfire at Staverton. Photographic frontispiece of Rotol's factory in 1938. Black and white photographs in the text. Book and jacket are fine. The company was formed on 13th May 1937 by Rolls-Royce and Bristol Aeroplane Co to take over both companies's propeller developments, the market being too small for more than one company in this space. The name was a contraction of "ROlls-Royce" and "BrisTOL". Rotol props were considered leading edge - their models equipping the Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, and many other Second World War aircraft. They started in temporary premises in Gloucester but transferred to the new factory at Staverton at the end of 1937.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The wartime airfi eld at Rivenhall is typical of the many airbases that were hastily built in Britain following the entry of the US into the Second World War. It was first used by a long-range Mustang fighter group whose task it was to escort the bombers of the US Eighth Air Force on daylight raids deep into Germany, and this was followed by four squadrons of Marauder bombers that stayed at Rivenhall for a total of 111 days. They were used against targets on the Continent in support of the Allied Forces prior to and following the Normandy invasion in June 1944. The last aircraft to use the airfield were the Stirling tugs and Horsa gliders of No. 38 Group of the Royal Air Force. These squadrons performed a variety of duties and eventually took part in the final airborne operation of the war, the Rhine Crossing. Luckily many of the wartime features of Rivenhall still exist. In addition to the operational history, this book contains a total of seventy photographs as well as a number of maps and appendices. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
