World War Two

Air

Military Aircraft from World War 2. Starts off with images from a private collection. Not all the planes are here, just some of my personal favourites.

Battle of Britain. A unique look at the Battle of Britain through the eyes of the Air Ministry in 1941in a booklet.
B17- Ye Old Pub. The remarkable story of a flight over enemy territory and a helpful Luftwaffe pilot.
JU88. How 3 Czech Hurricane pilots, taking off, shot down a German JU88 over the River Mersey.
Lancaster. The most famous of WW2 bombers, the RAF's Avro Lancaster - the "dam buster" itself.
Liberator. Crash over the Wirral
Lysander. Peter Arkell flew his Lysander into enemy occupied Europe on highly dangerous secret missions.
Mosquito. The famous De Havilland Mosquito of World War 2. With original images of the raid on Amiens Prison in 1944.
The Batttle of Truk, a seaborne airborne operation to smash the 'impregnable' Truk lagoon stronghold of the Japs.

Achtung Spitfire! The history and development of this the most famous of all WW2 Fighters.  How it grew from a unassuming and unimpressive "Shrew" into the master of the air in the skies over Southern England and beyond. 

P47 Thunderbolt. The story of the fate of a P47 Thunderbolt in WW2 over the Wirral.  The remains of which now reside in the museum at Fort Perch, New Brighton, Wallasey, Merseyside, UK, not far from where it was found in Moreton, Wirral, where I grew up.
