Allied victory in the Second World War owed much to air power. The
success of military and naval operations invariably hinged on
control of the skies, and the rise to dominance of the Allied air
forces meant that the Nazi war machine was effectively doomed.
Following the success of The Second World War in Colour, this book
presents a further selection of original colour photographs from
the IWM collection, focusing on Allied aircraft and airmen.
Alongside these striking images, War in the Air examines how
crucial aviation was to winning the war, from the defence of
Britain’s skies and maritime trade, to battlefield support in
North Africa and Europe and the strategic bombing offensive over
Germany. Shot from the ground and from the air, these powerful
images bring a vital aspect of the Second World War to life.
