RAF Marston Moor and RAF Church Fenton were the closest airfields to West Yorkshire and would act as a defence should Leeds be attacked. As it happens Leeds was seldom bombed.

In 1943, Group Captain Leonard Cheshire was the Station Commander.
Marston Moor was also in control of RAF Rufforth and RAF Riccall.〔
