The full story of Aston House in the Second World War has never been told before. Its activities were top secret and as important to the Allied war effort as those of Bletchley Park, but in a different way. Situated near Stevenage, Aston House was one of many British country houses requisitioned during the Second World War by the Special Operations Executive (SOE). Born out of Bletchley Park, where it began life as SIS Section 'D' (for Destruction), Station 12's scientific and military personnel invented, made and supplied 'toys' for the Commandos, Special Boat Service, SAS, and resistance groups. Included in their deadly arsenal of weapons were plastic explosives, limpet mines, pressure switches, tree spigots, incendiary bombs, incendiary liquids and arrows, and a variety of time fuses.
This is an excellent account of how the efforts to disrupt the German war machine in WWII were tackled by the genius of British resourcefulness. Every page is a delight.
I have been trying to track this book down for ages now. Not available from Waterstones etc, so was very pleased to find it on e bay. It was in excellent condition, and arrived in good time
