The History of a Battle of Britain Fighter Station

Beschreibung

On 16 November 1916, Lieutenant Geoffrey Dorman took off from Shoreham in a Royal Aircraft Factory FE2b with the intention of heading West along the South Coast to the airfield at Gosport. Not long into the flight, however, a dense sea fog formed and as his engine was also 'misbehaving', Dorman decided 'it would be best to try and land'.
