Books, Manuscripts
Though World War II took place after the development of colour photography, nearly all of the familiar images of it are in black and white - which tends to make the conflict feel more distant, more removed from our own lives and history, than it actually is. 'War in the Air' changes that. This book focuses on an aspect of the war that was unquestionably key to the Allied victory: the war in the air. In these pages, we see aircraft and pilots from a number of Allied nations, brought to life again in vibrant colour that makes the heroism and sacrifice of the era more palpable than ever.
