Description:Run by the American Red Cross, Pangbourne House was one of 16 country houses or 'flak homes' which housed airmen for rest and recuperation away from the stress of flying missions. Each serviceman was entitled to at least one rest period during their 25-30 mission tour. Pangbourne House is located at Whitchurch-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
