Wings Over Sands: A Concise History of RAF Cark & RAF Grange-over-Sands

John Nixons books are always informative and entertaining at the same time. A thoroughly good read.

I bought this book to research the air bases in this area, in readiness for my visits while on holiday. I found the book very comprehensive and a valuable guide, so I enjoyed my visit all the more for having read about the bases beforehand. Very interesting indeed, I learned a lot.

As the graphic designer who produced this book (for the author) I can recommend it as a well written & informative history of what was RAF Cark based in Flookburgh village in South Cumbria. There are over 200 photographs & illustrations both from the war era and contemporary to show parts of the airfield still remaining today.
