Wings Over Gosport - Price £4.95. This book sets out to show Gosport's role in the very early days of aviation history and the town's inspiration behind the formation of the R.A.F. It tells of the men and women who in both world wars, played significant parts in many establishments in the town. Flight training, torpedo testing and aircraft repair were pioneered in the Borough, backed by the W.A.A.F and many Gosport women working in the establishments. These are things perhaps which are still remembered by some of the elderly residents, but unknown to the young of Gosport. Written by Lesley Burton. Soldiers of the Queen - Price £4.50.
