Excellent county revelations,
By Pillboxer1940 (Walmington-on-Sea, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Birds Eye Wartime Leicestershire 1939-1945: Maps and Aerial Photographs: A Synoptic View of Wartime Leicestershire (Paperback)
This very interesting glossy book provides a different and refreshing take on the traditional 'My County 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. Coupled with professional cartographer Clive's computer generated maps and simulations, 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 ther park on my street' etc. You'll spend hours looking over the photos. There is even the first complete and meticulously researched bomb map of the county, plus aerial photos of all the local airfields. This will be very useful for archaeologists and historians of the future - and at a great price too. 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!).
