The Aerodrome is a 1941 philosophical fiction by Rex Warner set in an English village which contains an air force base. It covers about a year in the life of the narrator Roy, who was raised in the village and at 21 joins the air force. Though the world of the village was not faultless, it tried to hold to traditional Christian values. He finds the godless technocratic proto-fascist world of the air force a dystopia.

The author stressed that the fictional air force in the novel has no connection with the Royal Air Force which was heroically defending Britain at the time.
