Hello Pat, Cannot help with the book, but Wivelsfield yes. The Wivelsfield History Study Group published a book in 1994 entitled "Wivelsfield - The History of a Wealden Parish" (ISBN 0 9524577 0 9) and it contains in chapter 13 sub vii some references about the Second World War. Dad's Army has an episode where Mr. Godfrey's cottage was going to be moved for a runway, in this book on page 240 there is a reference to the Plough Inn, Plumpton that was pulled down and rebuilt to make room for a flight-path for Spitfires. Although a comedy Dad's Army touches a lot on reality of the time.
