WAR IN FOCUS
CHRISTMAS MAIL Taken: c. 1899-1902 © Getty Soldiers
TIMELINE OF THE BLITZ
Cities across the United Kingdom suffer intense bombing raids by the Luftwaffe during 1940-41, destroying buildings and lives, but not morale
HOMEFRONT SHELTERS
While German bombs threatened widespread death and destruction across major UK cities, ordinary life was suspended, and back gardens were converted into life-saving shelters
BLITZ SPIRIT
Heroism took many forms during the Blitz with courage being displayed by powerful figures, firefighters, teenagers and even a dog
GERMANY’S LONG-RANGE BOMBER CONUNDRUM
Prevailing German military doctrine and the death of a visionary air officer contributed to the defeat of the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain
BLITZ AIRCRAFT
German bombers rained destruction during the campaign over Britain, but took heavy losses in combat with the RAF
COVENTRY CITY ON FIRE
Eighty years ago one devastating air raid came to symbolise the unprecedented destruction of the Blitz. Here, two eyewitnesses share their incredible stories of survival and endurance
A LOST MEDIEVAL CITY
Coventry’s historic buildings were not just destroyed by the Blitz but also by interwar and post-war redevelopers
A CHILD’S PERSPECTIVE
Dorothy Day was only six years old in 1940 and she endured not just the Blitz but subsequent bombings across the United Kingdom as her parents tried to evacuate her to safety
AIRFIX

JOHN L. CANLEY
In an embattled Hue City at the height of the Tet Offensive, this Marine gunnery sergeant risked his life repeatedly to rescue wounded comrades
THE DEATH OF CHIVALRY
A code of honour both on and off the battlefield, many knights of the Middle Ages were defined by their strict adherence to, or flouting of, this warrior etiquette. Here Chris Gravett, assistant curator of armour at the Tower Armouries and author of new book The Medieval Knight, explains the real origins of chivalry, and how it changed over the centuries
