Royal Air Force Booker or more simply RAF Booker was a Royal Air Force station located 2.8 miles (4.5 km) south west of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and 6.5 miles (10.5 km) north east of Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England.

Booker was opened as a flying training school in 1941 on the site of a civilian flying school requisitioned and closed on the outbreak of war in 1939.^[1]

In 1965 the site was taken over by Airways Aero Associations (now the Airways Flying Club), who have operated the airfield as an increasingly commercial training and recreational field, now called Wycombe Air Park. Booker featured in many of the airfield scenes in the 1965 feature film Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines.
