University of York Interactive Air Raid Map

Post by PV »

Science news today:

https://phys.org/news/2019-10-plotting- ... ating.html

"...an interactive map detailing every air raid across the UK during the Second World War.

"Bombing Britain: an air raid map uses wartime data from The National Archives to pinpoint
more than 30,000 locations that were struck in the UK over the course of the war

"By clicking on a pin on the map, people will be able to view and download information
on an air raid, including the date, location and number of casualties."

Hello PV,
I read the article but I couldn't find a link to the actual interactive map. It would be very interesting for me.

I was watching a programme about the blitz and they showed an old Ministry of Information film of how they dealt with unexploded bombs. They referred to a map in the control centre and I was surprised to see that the map was of my road.

It would be interesting to see what that was on the interactive map.
