Summary
| Description |
English: RAF Warmwell monument at Crossways, Dorset. The village of Crossways was created after the war on the site of the former RAF station Warmwell, which was notable as a Battle of Britain fighter station. In the Battle it hosted two squadrons of Spitfires, protecting the nearby naval base at Portland and other coastal installations. It continued as a fighter station for the rest of the war, and was Dorset's only RAF fighter base. In March 1944 the station hosted the 474th Fighter Group of the USAAF flying P38 Lightnings during and after D-Day. 811775 |
