About the author

Justin Omps is an American who spent years reconstructing where the Few actually drank. It took an outsider to knock on doors in Kent and Sussex asking what became of the pubs at the airfield gates, and the answers, recorded in the gazetteer of Pubs, Pilots, and the Battle of Britain, are by turns heartening and heartbreaking. Some still trade. Some are Thai restaurants and convenience stores. One was demolished in 2019 with its famous sign still out front.

His Anglophilia began with cars. Many a bloody knuckle was earned on the rusty undersides of a Mk1 Mini and a Series Land Rover, and whatever affection began in a garage grew, over the years, into an appreciation of how the British, with characteristic bloody-mindedness, stood alone against monstrous evil. He lives in Arlington, Virginia. This is his first book.
