Ivor Jones' new book vividly describes the cunning night-time
decoys which saved Cardiff, and indeed Wales itself, from German
bombings during the Second World War. By distorting what the German
bombers could see from the air, the Ministry of Home Security was
successful in averting hundreds and thousands of bombs from
residential areas of the country. False 'lights' were created to
mislead German bombers in search of targets; during the blackout,
the ministry placed these lights in open countryside, or around the
coast. Superbly illustrated with photographs and maps, this is a
fascinating insight into a previously overlooked aspect of the
Second World War.
