Title:RAF Davidstow Moor 1942-1945
Originator:Knight, R.
Date:2013
Summary:During it's brief history RAF Davidstow Moor in North Cornwall was home to Coastal Command squadrons involved in Air Sea Rescue [ASR], U-Boat hunting and anti shipping patrols. Personnel came from the UK, Canada, United States, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, Czechoslovakia and Holland. Author's father Claude Knight was stationed there and the airfield was part of my Royal Mail post round. He has spoken to many people with first hand experience of what went on there in wartime. This has been an ongoing project over the last 40 years.
