"Wings Over Wexford", by Liam Gaul

[Wexflyer]

I thought I should alert the fine members of this forum to an unusual work, on an obscure subject: a history of the US Navy Air Station Wexford, from 1918-1919.

The book is entitled "Wings Over Wexford", with subtitle "USN Air Station Wexford", by local historian Liam Gaul.  Published in 2017 by The History Press Ireland. ISBN 979 0 7509 8351 8 with 154 pages and numerous illustrations.  I note that a relic of the USN Air Station is still extant - the "Yankee slip", in Ferrybank, which was used to launch and recover the Curtiss H-16 seaplanes.  

The airbase, which became operational in September 1918, was instrumental in precipitating the final German surrender in November
