`MUDVILLE HEIGHTS`

MUDVILLE HEIGHTS.

This  book was written about the  US Navy at Dunkeswell,Devon
and the title comes from a nickname given to the airfield there in 1943.

The book is a history of this US Navy anti-submarine base in WW2,
and many anecdotes collected from ex-crew members who served
there with PB4Y-1 Liberators. It also contains appendices of losses,
U-boat attacks & successes, along with a `Roll of Honour`
to all those killed during ops & training flights from 1943-46.

 

Many photos have been gathered from archives and private

collections and depict all aspects of life on and off the base,

but it is to relate that some of these pics came from men no

longer with us, all I can hope for now is to honour their memory.  

 



ON GOING RESEARCH
At present I am researching for a new book on accidents
around the Scottish Isles & Hebrides. This is to be another
joint venture,this time with my good friend Peter Dobson 
of Workington,who is better known throughout the aviation
world for his research into aircraft accidents around Cumbria,
the Lake District and Western Pennine chain of hills.

Research began 3 years ago with sparse details of just over
30 aircraft,we have now amassed a list of over 100 aircraft
to be covered in detail, together with an appendix listing
of many others.


As previously mentioned research is ongoing and information
on any aircraft lost on and around the Isles & Hebrides
would be very much appreciated.Contact either Myself at:
