During World War II hundreds of airmen from all over the globe touched down at Harrowbeer Airfield in Devon.
Despite its proud history, the long disused airfield six miles south of Tavistock is in danger of being forgotten.
Now a group of enthusiasts with a shared interest in its history have joined forces to actively search out old photographs, maps and news stories.
The airfield was created following the devastating Luftwaffe air raids on Plymouth during March and April 1941.
Many of the flattened remains can still be seen.
