“The strength of this book lies in the international approach it takes in the range of sites covered. The archaeological evidence is skilfully combined with oral testimony to present a moving picture of the material legacy of the Second World War.”
Military History Magazine
“Digs beneath the surface of the programme… featuring personal stories of courage and British invention. This lively, hands-on approach to history is certainly not just one for the boys.”
Family Tree Magazine
“…well illustrated volume… certainly one for the shelf if you have an interest in battlefield archeaology.”

Dig WW2: Rediscovering the Great Wartime Battles
“The type of book you would sit on a balcony outside and read/look at while imagining a B-17 Flying Fortress flying right in front of you… then you suddenly appear in the plane, the pilot is yelling for you to drop the bombs so you can get the heck out of there… Yes, the book is that good – go get it now!”
Thunder in the Heavens: Classic American Aircraft of World War II
“Excellent photos and moving quotes from pilots about their experiences and their love for the planes. The excellent ‛Ghosts’ series is probably the standard for warbird books and this is absolutely as good and in some ways even better.”
“…this book provides breathtaking photography that will give any avation enthusiast goosebumps. It features many of the American, German and British aircraft and depicts them like never before.”
Spirits in the Sky: Classic Aircraft of World War II
“Now faithfully reproduced page by page, it remains immensely moving in the laughter of its resilience and still relevant as a testament to gallantry under fire.”
The Times
“The humour woven into the correspondence, observations and stories for all 23 issues published characterises an indomitable spirit.”
Discover Britain
“…a remarkable insight into life in the trenches”
