RAF West Malling was not among the more well known military airfields of the Second World War. However its contribution to the destruction of enemy aircraft in the night skies above the UK was immense. In 1944 it became the foremost anti-diver airfield in the destruction of the V1 'Doodlebug'. This is the story of a lesser famous Kent airfield.

Brooks examines whether various behaviors--such as crying, acting tough, displays of anger, or knowledge gaffes--by male and female political candidates are regarded differently by the public. Refuting the idea of double standards in campaigns, Brooks's overall analysis indicates that female candidates do not get penalized disproportionately for various behaviors, nor do they face any double bind regarding femininity and toughness. Brooks also reveals that before campaigning begins, women do not start out at a disadvantage due to gender stereotypes. In fact, Brooks shows that people only make gendered assumptions about candidates who are new to politics, and those stereotypes benefit, rather than hurt, women candidates
