This very interesting little book provides a different and refreshing take on the traditional 'My Town at War' local history. Instead of the usual posed propaganda pictures, Terry and his son Clive have gone to great lengths (and personal expense!) to research the wartime RAF aerial photographs held at Swindon. The result is very interesting, revealing where the bombs fell, even down to where the army camps were based in the city. Be prepared for saying plenty of 'Ooh - I didn't know a bomb dropped there/there was an air raid shelter there/anti-aircraft battery in the park/ on my street' etc. You'll spend hours looking over the photos. Yet another worthy contribution by Messrs Cartwright to Leicester(shire)'s wartime history, which was in danger of being forgotten and overlooked(no pun intended!).
