England’s Military Heritage from the Air presents the story of the country’s rich military heritage using photographs from the Aerofilms Collection. Covering over 6,000 years, it reflects the changing threats faced by England from enemies without, and conflicts within. The book covers everything from hillforts to aircraft carriers and includes the castles, battle sites, ships and aircraft that have witnessed the changing character of warfare. Ending with how victory and sacrifice are commemorated and remembered, England’s Military Heritage from the Air is a tribute to the courage, skill and endurance of the people who have suffered yet prevailed.

Recensioner i media

‘Overall, the authors have made an excellent and well-balanced selection of images to tell the story of England’s military heritage. Their choices go beyond the obvious fortifications to include dockyards, barracks, factories and country houses requisitioned for military use.’ Wayne Cocroft, Industrial Archaeology Review
