P.S. I wish I hadn't taken such a keen interest in geography as a youth. We seem to be suffering from it now.
Letter to his mother
March 6, 1945

Bill Martyn visited/operated from 100 airfields between 1936 and 1945, in 16 different countries. Some were no more than a strip of grass. Some of the airfields are now farmers fields, housing estates, industrial areas and International airports. Finding details/pictures (from the time) of some proved very difficult and even impossible. Some locations are pin point exact, while others range from within 200m to within 7 or 8 miles. If you have more details, and or pictures, please get in touch.
