Hi,
Here at the RAF Benevolent Fund we've launched a campaign to bring the Battle of Britain to a new generation.
1940 Chronicle is a new online 1940s-style newspaper which breaks daily news of Britain at war from the same day 70 years ago, as though it's happening in real time.
Interwoven with this are the stories of five fictional but historically accurate characters: a Hurricane Pilot based at Biggin Hill, a Radar Operator, a Plane Mechanic, a Nurse and a Journalist. Their personal accounts of the Battle unfold in real time against the backdrop of the war through a series of blogs.
We would really like to know what ww2Aircraft.net readers think of the site. Is it historically accurate enough? Do the characters ring true? Please visit, explore and give us any comments you have here on the forum.
Thanks!
