"A book of signatures of RAF pilots who fought in Battle of Britain is expected to fetch up to £8,000 at auction today. The book - which was described by Winston Churchill as 'a book of heroes' - contains 107 signatures which were collected by Norman Phillips, Mess Steward at RAF Marklesham Heath in 1941. Auctioneer Bonhams said the book's leather cover was apparently cut from a mess chair by Group Captain Douglas Bader whose remarkable story, flying again after losing both his legs, was the basis of the film Reach for the Sky." 'A book of heroes': Volume of 107 Battle of Britain pilot signatures goes on sale | Mail Online
According to the article the leather chair used by Bader for the book must have been in one of these 4 Barrack Blocks. The buildings are in use by various businesses and are listed buildings. Attached pics plus the Memorials to RAF, USAF and all those who were associated with Martlesham, it's a nice day so I took photos of the old control Tower.
Only allows 5 pics at a time here are some more. The American 356th Fighter group ( P51 Mustangs ) was stationed here from 1943.
