 The book, One Last Look: A Sentimental Journey To The Eighth Air Force Heavy Bomber Bases Of World War II in England, represents a fascinating look back to 1942 when the United States Army Air Corps began building up bomber strength on many new airfields built especially for them throughout England.  In essence England and these many air fields became permanent aircraft carriers or were they?  While some continued to be used after the end of World War II in 1945, the vast majority of these airfields have gone back to their primordial state with many of the buildings either being leveled or turned into alternative uses.  Now the ranks of the young men who were the brave warriors of this era are thinning out and for those who remain they are in the twilight of their lives.  This book represents a rare combination of the frank recollections of this dwindling bread of men who still vividly remember what it was like to be there from flying thorugh flak filled skies over enemy targets to enduring the perpetual mud at the many make-shift airfields.  The major sections of this book are as follows: 1) Forward; 2) Prologue; 3) The Air Crews; 4) The Bases; 5) In Quarters; 6) The Raids: Preparation; 7) The Villages; 8) Small Talk; 9) The Aircraft; 10) The Leaders; 11) The Riads: Delivery; 12) The Girls; 13) Flak; 14) At Ease; 15) Prisoner Of War; 16) The Raids: Results; 17) One Last Look; 18) Bibliography; 19) Statistical Summary and 20) Index.  In addition to a very informative text, this book includes the following: 1) Approximately 73 vintage black and white photographs; 2) About 90 many never-before-seen color photographs and 3) Numerous maps.  This book is 216 pages and is in excellent condition.  The authors are Philip Kaplan and Rex Alan Smith with a forward written by Andy Rooney.  Edition published in 1983.
