Historic Photography
Historic aerial imagery offers an unprecedented and unparalleled insight into the past, showing us changes that have taken place, and buildings that have stood through the years. The combined value of historical information and the wealth of detail that is contained in modern aerial photography creates a truly valuable source of information for understanding the environment of both yesterday and its legacy for today.
The imagery has been created from original film where possible, and sourced from several archives. The database that has been created represents the very best of RAF and Luftwaffe aerial photography flown during 1939 to 1952.
The Getmapping historic photography can be located in the webshop on the tab 1940, above the imagery to the left. You can purchase it in the same way as the normal Getmapping aerial photogrpahy. Simply select Historic Photography from the products page after you have selected your chosen area.
