Description

Inn of the Few is a tale of the White Hart inn, which became a home to the brave fighter pilots of WWII who battled over the skies of Southern England.

In the dark days of 1940, when Britain stood alone, Churchill's 'Few', the brave fighter pilots who battled over the skies of Southern England, found a haven in the White Hart inn in Brasted, where they could escape the traumas of war for a few hours.

The landlords, Kath and Teddy Preston, were there to share in the hopes and fears, the elation and sorrow of the men who lived their lives on the edge daily.

Inn of the Few is a tale of those precarious days, an insight into life at the White Hart and its famous visitors. The book includes fascinating anecdotes and archive photographs and documents of a momentous time in history, in which local lives gained national significance.
