Target Rolling: Llandbedr Airfield 1941-2002 - Wendy Mills - Paperback

Llandbedr airfield near Harlech in North Wales was established in 1941, and was used to provide air firing facilities for visiting front line squadrons during wartime. After the war, the airfield continued to specialize in aerial target operations -- and to this day it continues in this unusual role.For this reason, the airfield is of special interest to the aviation fraternity. And with Llandbedr's brightly painted drone and control aircraft, which have included Meteors, Canberras, Hawks, Sea Vixens, Jindiviks and other target types, many visitors have made a pastime out of viewing the airfield from its surrounding vantage points.This book, written by a journalist who has also been a flying instructor and was for 12 years the first and only woman controller of unpiloted target aircraft at the base, covers the whole history of the airfield. However, the title focuses primarily on the target flying, including first-hand accounts of how it is all achieved and anecdotes.Mills, Wendy is the author of 'Target Rolling: Llandbedr Airfield 1941-2002 - Wendy Mills - Paperback' with ISBN 9781857801361 and ISBN 1857801369.
