'England’s Military Heritage from the Air' presents the story of the country’s rich military heritage using photographs from the Aerofilms Collection.

Covering over 6,000 years, it reflects the changing threats faced by England from enemies without, and conflicts within. The book covers everything from hillforts to aircraft carriers and includes the castles, battle sites, ships, and aircraft that have witnessed the changing character of warfare. Ending with how victory and sacrifice are commemorated and remembered, 'England’s Military Heritage from the Air' is a tribute to the courage, skill, and endurance of the people who have suffered yet prevailed.
