Designed by illusionist Jasper Maskelyne, RAF Tempsford was constructed to give enemy aircraft the impression it was disused - nothing could be further from the truth. Just after dusk, on moonlit nights either side of the full moon, planes would take off on top secret missions to the heart of the war-torn Continent. But despite the attention of Churchill and George VI, the airfield's secrets have long remained an untold chapter in the story of the war. Based on over a decade's extensive research, this book provides a fascinating account of Tempsford's covert operations.
