The complete history of the Royal Air Force fighter station that played a vital role in D-Day, the Battle of Britain and throughout WWII. In its day, RAF Tangmere was one of the most famous and strategically important fighter stations in the British Isles. At the outbreak of World War II, it sent the first RAF squadron to France. During the Battle of Britain, Tangmere was one of the main fighter stations constantly engaging with the deadly Luftwaffe. Tangmere’s Hurricane and Spitfire pilots heroically defended southern England for the next three years and turned increasingly to an offensive role. Squadrons at Tangmere were involved in Operation Jubilee and the combined raid on Dieppe. They harassed the enemy across the Channel with ever-increasing accuracy—a practice that led to their pivotal role in Operation Overlord, the Normandy landings. As the cold war set in, Tangmere was no longer well positioned as an interceptor station and by the end of 1958 Fighter Command had withdrawn its last squadron. It was eventually decommissioned in 1970, but lives on as the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum. Expertly told with use of official diaries and operations records, this is the definitive history of RAF Tangmere.

On 16 November 1916, Lieutenant Geoffrey Dorman took off from Shoreham in a Royal Aircraft Factory FE2b with the intention of heading West along the South Coast to the airfield at Gosport. Not long into the flight, however, a dense sea fog formed and as his engine was also 'misbehaving', Dorman decided 'it would be best to try and land'. Spotting a suitable area of farmland, Lieutenant Dorman put his aircraft down near the West Sussex village of Tangmere. Evidently aware of what he had stumbled across, Dorman's subsequent report on the incident included a suggestion that the site would be eminently suitable for an aerodrome. Within twelve months, construction had started - and so was born the legend of RAF Tangmere. Over the years that followed, Tangmere became one of the best known and strategically most important fighter stations in the United Kingdom. From its connections with the highly-polished air displays given at various RAF pageants in the 1920s and 1930s, through to numerous royal visits, or for its role in the post-war record-breaking speed flights or as a Cold War air-sea rescue base, Tangmere was a vital part of the nation's defenses. It is, however, for its service on the front line in the Second World War that Tangmere is best remembered. Not only was the airfield itself bombed and blitzed, its aircraft and pilots also found themselves in the thick of the fighting in the Battle of Britain, before turning to an increasingly offensive role whilst led by Wing Commander Douglas Bader. Operation Jubilee, the Combined Operations raid on Dieppe, and the D-Day landings in 1944 all required RAF Tangmere to play its part. As well as overt offensive sorties, Tangmere was involved in the secretive world of covert warfare, when, during the full moon periods, 'A' Flight of 161 (Special Duties) Squadron would move its Lysanders forward to Tangmere. As well as delivering SOE agents, wireless operators, wireless equipment and weapons to assist the Resistance, these aircraft often returned with agents, VIPs and even Allied escapers and evaders. In this highly-illustrated publication, the renowned aviation historian and author Mark Hillier explores the development and role of RAF Tangmere from 1916 until its closure in 1970, along with some of the fascinating individuals associated with it, through an intriguing collection of 100 objects.
