Experience History with Kensington Tours
As of 1942, the arrival of hundreds of U.S. airmen into southeastern Britain marked the start of a critical tactical partnership between the RAF and the USAAF that would extend to the final days of WWII. This personal heritage journey puts you on a path to discovery, tracing the rich history of American war and aviation history in England. Explore the narrative of Winston Churchill, the man who led the wartime initiatives of Britain alongside the other Allied forces. Pay your respects at the peaceful Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial, and at the famed Duxford Airfield, gain insight into the lives of airmen as you visit the American Air Museum and the Imperial War Museum. Slip out into the countryside to bear witness to the historic American airfields that dot the green landscape, then make your way to the English coast where the iconic white cliffs of Dover greeted enemy aircraft with anti-aircraft weaponry, securing the airspace over the English Channel. Trace your relatives back to their WWII air missions, learning about yourself in the process. As you follow your family’s footsteps, you’ll stay in hand-picked accommodations and have access to private vehicles, drivers, and the best guides.
