From September, 1940 until March, 1945, German aircraft rained thousands of bombs on cities throughout the British Isles. The Blitz, as it has become known, was the most devastating aerial bombardment the world had ever seen. These momentous events are recounted here through the archives of The Daily Mail, London Evening Standard and London Evening News in a detailed visual history. "The Blitz on Britain" brings together photographs and newspaper headlines of the most important events of the Luftwaffe bombing campaigns on Britain. The images are supported by a timeline of events and captions to the photographs often quote verbatim from original notes.
