“Britain is and always has been a land of strategic significance, inordinate beauty, and mystifying magic,” writes Sue McCarty. “I was introduced to her charms when the USAF sent me to Bentwaters Air Base in 1976.” From that point on, Sue was captivated and researched the creation of this nation. British history “…is not only British, but also American, Canadian, Australian, and more.” She spent over 800 hours creating this masterpiece, plus “…a bit of blood, a few tears, and a whole lot of sweat.”
