From Moths to Merlins - Robin J. Brooks

. .

Résumé :
RAF West Malling was not among the more well known military airfields of the Second World War. However its contribution to the destruction of enemy aircraft in the night skies above the UK was immense. In 1944 it became the foremost anti-diver airfield in the destruction of the V1 'Doodlebug'. This is the story of a lesser famous Kent airfield.
