ATB: Item No. ATB BK-005
THE BLITZ THEN AND NOW

"These three books have no publishing parallel and because of their totally comprehensive nature to which so many thousands of people in all parts of the country can relate, they stand apart from any other form of literature published on the sort of subject." -Aviation News

Volume 1: September 3, 1939-September 6, 1940 Volume one covers the first year, the period from phony war total war: September 3, 1939 to September 6, 1940. Beginning with endless air raid warnings and a sense of unreality, it was a phase which was to culminate in Hitler threatening to raze Britain's cities to the ground.
As a direct source of the day-to-day effects of Luftwaffe operations over Britain at the time, the book utilizes extracts from the 24-hour log compiled by the Ministry of Home Security and this provides a contemporary diary of events as they effected the Home Front. These entries ideally form the setting for a detailed record of the losses sustained by the Luftwaffe over Britain and within sight of land: a barometer of the air war, showing clearly the changing climate of hostilities.
Every German crash on land is listed with its crew, and footnotes are included on all the crash sites which are known to have been investigated or excavated since the end of the war, together with photographs of some of the more interesting discoveries. Features and special articles by historians and eyewitnesses intersperse the daily happenings, illustrating life at the time on both the civilian and service fronts.
