The East of England, particularly Suffolk, became a new home for thousands of American airmen during the Second World War. The largest concentration was in Suffolk, which had more USA airfields than any other English county. After starting to arrive in 1942, there were over 10,000 in the country by 1943.
The Americans brought with them chewing gum, coke and peanut butter, and introduced the big band sounds and jitterbugging dancing. Their arrival was called the 'Friendly Invasion' as they suddenly found themselves in the middle of the East Anglian countryside. In return the British taught the GI's the gentle art of darts and dominos, when the newcomers ventured into the sacred English public houses.
This book examines the meeting of two cultures, while stories are related of the aircraft victories and losses, plus accidents which sometimes shook the countryside. Missions by the bombers
