Nutts Corner: In War and Peace, 1941-1963

Nutts Corner airfield was conceived and built during the Second World War, constructed for military use before evolving into a new civil airport for Northern Ireland in December 1946.

Written by well-known aviation historians Guy Warner and the late Ernie Cromie, this is the first book to reveal the full story of Nutts Corner. It shares the history of the airfield, involving the RAF, RN and USAAF and many early, long-gone airlines such as BEA, Silver City and BKS.

Fully-illustrated, it covers the wide range of aircraft and incidents seen over the years, through military and civil use, and the important impact on local people.

This is the fascinating story of the vital and diverse roles played by Nutts Corner during and after the war, opening up Northern Ireland’s economy and laying the foundations for later expansion.
