War In The Air : The Second World War in Colour, Paperback / softback Book

War In The Air : The Second World War in Colour Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Allied victory in the Second World War owed much to air power.

The success of military and naval operations invariably hinged on control of the skies, and the rise to dominance of the Allied air forces meant that the Nazi war machine was effectively doomed. Following the success of The Second World War in Colour, this book presents a further selection of original colour photographs from the IWM collection, focusing on Allied aircraft and airmen.

Alongside these striking images, War in the Air examines how crucial aviation was to winning the war, from the defence of Britain's skies and maritime trade, to battlefield support in North Africa and Europe and the strategic bombing offensive over Germany.

Shot from the ground and from the air, these powerful images bring a vital aspect of the Second World War to life.
