Printing Details

First edition. Large paperback. 29 × 23cm, 48pp.

A fascinating record of the Blitz in Coventry during the Second World War, and the indomitable spirit of its citizens. The first few pages are a history of Coventry and its notable buildings, and then comes November 14th, 1940, and the devastating raid by the Luftwaffe which destroyed vast swathes of the city, including the cathedral. There are narratives from the Fire Service, the utilities, and a good selection of photographs of the bomb damage before moving on to the plan for Coventry. Other writings include Civil Defence, WVS, and a record of antiquarian discoveries during the digging of bomb shelters.
