Our Journey so far
We purchased 21 Eaker Street and formally completed in November 2016. Having waited nearly 9 months for the house to be built, we are very glad to now have finally moved in.
Where does the name "Eaker Street" come from?
General Ira Clarence Eaker (1896 - 1987) was a General in the USA Air Forces during World War II. General Eaker was second-in-command of the Eighth Air Force and was sent to England to setup its bomber command. He was named commander of the Eighth Air Force on December 1, 1942.
Where does the name of the estate, "Pine Trees" come from?
The High Wycombe Abbey Girls School codenamed Pine Trees was the Headquarters of the USAAF 8th Bomber Command. It was requisitioned by the Air Ministry on the 28th March 1942 and was chosen because it was close to the existing RAF Bomber Command in Walter's Ash Naphill codenamed Southdown
