History of Dunkeswell Airfield*:
Formerly a Second World War US Base for the large 'Liberators' of Fleet Air Wing 7 of the United States Navy. These aircraft were able to travel long distances. With their long range they took part in the anti-submarine patrols hunting down and bombing the enemy submarines that blockaded the United Kingdom.

183 of the Officers and Men based at Dunkeswell, including one of the Kennedy brothers, were killed whilst on active service. Their names are recorded on the memorial tablet by the doorway of Dunkeswell Parish Church. Ex servicemen from America still return for the annual memorial service held in Dunkeswell Church.

"May their sacrifice be a perpetual reminder to us that Christian principles need courageous support in times of trial....Let us remember them with love and gratitude." (Extract from Annual Memorial Service held in the Parish Church of St Nicholas, Dunkeswell 28/5/95.)
