Visit East Anglia, supported by Visit Britain and its Discover England Fund, is leading on developing The Friendly Invasion product to encourage more visitors to experience the region where over 350,000 US Air Force servicemen were based during World War II.
Their arrival from 1942 created the biggest landscape and cultural impact of any event in the East of England since the Norman Conquest 900 years earlier. The Americans brought with them chewing gum, peanut butter, jazz, Swing, nylons, Coca Cola, and within a short time had created over 100 miles of concrete runways cut into quiet East Anglian farmland.
It was The Friendly Invasion - when the United States changed the East of England forever.
