The Blitz

Memories of a defining event in the Second World War, which lasted from September 7, 1940 until May 21 the following year. The Blitz was a maelstrom of fire and destruction with 85 major air raids, 24,000 tons of bombs dropped, 40,000 fatalities and 1.5 million people left homeless or displaced. From Black Saturday in the East End, to the ruins of Coventry Cathedral, to the all-out assault on St Paul's, cameramen filmed the Blitz and the everyday people who defied its full, potential impact.

Aircraft Salvage in the Battle of Britain and Blitz will comprise of some 140-150 images of the work of RAF and civilian salvage squads during the Battle of Britain, the Blitz and beyond.
