This volume covers the first year of World War II, the period from
phoney war to total war: September 3rd, 1939 to September 6th,
1940. Beginning with endless air raid warnings and a sense of
unreality, it was a phase which was to culminate in Hitler
threatening to raze Britain's cities to the ground. As a direct
source of the day-to-day effects of Luftwaffe operations over
Britain at the time, the book utilizes extracts from the 24-hour
log compiled by the Ministry of Home Security, and this provides a
contemporary diary of events as they affected the Home Front. These
entries ideally form the setting for a detailed record of the
losses sustained by the Luftwaffe over Britain and within sight of
land: a barometer of the air war, showing clearly the changing
climate of hostilities. Every German crash on land is listed with
its crew, and footnotes are included on all the crash sites which
are known to have been investigated or excavated since the end of
the war, together with photographs of some interesting discoveries.
Also featured are articles by historians and eyewitnesses that
interspace the daily happenings.
