About this book

In 1995, after over five years of research, Vincent Holyoak published the history of Bottesford Airfield. 'On the Wings of the Morning' tells the story of the bomber crews who flew from Bottesford Airfield (UK) during the Second World War. Using the personal testimony of those who served there, and their families, Vincent Holyoak has, in his own words, 'tried through the extracts to convey something of the individual suffering, sacrifices, but above all, of the pride and the self deprecating humour of the veterans interviewed ..... this is very much their story, and I have been privileged to have been given the opportunity to tell it'. The book is no longer in print and Vincent Holyoak has made it available as part of the archive of the Bottesford Living History Project at the following url: http://www.bottesfordhistory.org.uk/page_id__519_path__0p2p44p95p.aspx
