Masters of the Air is a 9-day tour of East Anglia and London, based on the works of best-selling author and historian Donald L. Miller, PhD. This unique tour incorporates meetings with locals who have carried on the stories of the air war by lovingly restoring and maintaining the bases that at one time transformed pastures into “bomber country.”
Listening to the tales of the American men who flew and fought, visiting the museums built in old concrete control towers, and standing on the observation decks at Thorpe Abbotts and Parham gets you closer to the air war than anywhere else in the world. These people appreciate the sacrifices the American “bomber boys” made for them. That’s what motivates them to maintain, without expectation of gain, the bases they rebuilt on the soil of their ancestors.
In London, you will learn more about the Royal Air Force and stand where history was made beneath the streets, where Winston Churchill and his cabinet directed the war effort. Honor the heroic young Americans who were part of the “friendly invasion” of England. This deeply moving experience connects you to the brave bomber crews who risked it all, flying and fighting to end the war at last.
