Britain at War in Colour showcases one hundred of the best rare and original color images from the Imperial War Museums’ unparalleled collection. Bringing together the most striking photographs from Ian Carter’s bestselling War in the Air and The Second World War in Colour, alongside new and never-before-published images, this powerful visual collection shows us a new-or at least long-forgotten-World War II.

War in the Air changes that. Following the success of IWM’s The Second World War in Colour, this book focuses on an aspect of the war that was unquestionably key to the Allied victory: the war in the air. In these pages, we see aircraft and pilots from a number of Allied nations, brought to life again in vibrant color that makes the heroism and sacrifice of the era more palpable than ever. Alongside these rarely seen images, Ian Carter, Senior Curator at IWM, examines how crucial aviation was to winning the war, from protecting the skies and waters of Britain and the Mediterranean to the roles of Bomber Command and the USAAF’s nighttime strikes over Germany. Offering perspectives from the ground and from the air, these powerful images are an incredible document of World War II.
