Item description from seller

A scarce volume of printed maps, showing the bomb damage of the Second World War in London. With 147 colour maps. Includes an introduction by Robin Woolven. Robin Woolven joined the airforce at the age of seventeen, taking on the role of Air Signaller and then Navigator. In 1942 he was the navigation leader of the 249 Squadron. Later on he joined the 617 Squadron, flying Vulcan Mk2 bombers. This volume uses relevant sheets of Ordnance Survey Maps, coloured to show the various damages suffered by some London and its landmarks. A fascinating work that shows how London has been shaped by the war and the restoration afterwards. Very scarce. In a cloth binding in the original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, in excellent condition. Dustwrapper very smart with just some light edgewear. Internally, firmly bound with bright and clean pages. Fine.
