'On the Wings of the Morning', by Vincent Holyoak, tells the story of the bomber crews who flew from Bottesford Airfield during the Second World War. It is no longer in print and Vincent Holyoak has made it available as part of the archive of the Bottesford Living History Project. We are most grateful for his generous permission to reproduce this remarkable history of those many people who saw war-time service at Bottesford Airfield.
All the chapters are now available.
