The project is organised in five parts and covers the newspapers in chronological sequence. Part 1 provides full coverage for 1939; Part 2: 1940; Part 3: 1941; Part 4: 1942-1943; and finally, Part 5 covers 1944-1945. At last social historians and students of journalism can consult complete war-time runs of Britain’s popular newspapers in their libraries. Less august than the papers of record, it is these papers which reveal most about the impact of the war on the home front, the way in which people amused themselves in the face of adversity, and the way in which public morale was kept high through a mixture of propaganda and judicious reporting. Most importantly, it is through these papers that we can see how most ordinary people received news of the war. For, with a combined circulation of over 23 million by 1948, and a secondary readership far in excess of these figures, the News of the World, The People, the Daily Express, The Daily Mirror, and the Sunday Express reached into the homes of the majority of the British public and played a critical role in shaping public perceptions of the war.

From superpositions of “lucky images”, measurements of 139 systems were obtained and compared with literature data. B/w and color images of some noteworthy systems are also presented. mented double stars, as will be described in the next Introduction section. Generally, I used a red filter to cope with By using the technique of “lucky imaging”, seeing chromatic aberration of the Barlow lens, as well as to effects can strongly be reduced, and not only the reso- reduce the atmospheric spectrum. For systems with lution of a given telescope can be pushed to its limits, pronounced color contrast, I also made recordings but also the accuracy of position measurements can be with near-IR, green and blue filters in order to pro- better than this by about one order of magnitude.

  • CHAPTER 1 5 ABDA and ANZA CN the Second World
    CHAPTER 1 5 ABDA AND ANZA C N the second world war the democracies fought at an initial disadvan- Itage, though possessing much greater resources than their enemies . Britain and the United States had embarked on accelerated rearmamen t programs in 1938, the naval projects including battleships and aircraf t carriers ; but this was a delayed start compared with that of Germany an d Japan. Preparing for munitions production for total war, finding out wha t weapons to make, and their perfection into prototypes for mass produc- tion, takes in time upwards of two decades . After this preparation period, a mass production on a nation-wide scale is at least a four-years' task in which "the first year yields nothing ; the second very little ; the third a lot and the fourth a flood" .' When Japan struck in December 1941, Britai n and the British Commonwealth had been at war for more than two years . During that time they had to a large extent changed over to a war economy and increasingly brought reserve strength into play . Indeed, in 1940, 1941 and 1942, British production of aircraft, tanks, trucks, self-propelled gun s and other materials of war, exceeded Germany 's. This was partly due to Britain's wartime economic mobilisation, and partly to the fact that Ger- many had not planned for a long war. Having achieved easy victories b y overwhelming unmobilised enemies with well-organised forces and accumu- lated stocks of munitions and materials, the Germans allowed over- confidence to prevent them from broadening the base of their econom y to match the mounting economic mobilisation of Britain .

  • Second Chance (A Novel of Time Travel)
    Second Chance (A Novel of Time Travel) Christopher G. Nuttall Text © 2012 Christopher G. Nuttall, CC BY-NC-ND Cover CC0 by Free Ebook Foundation using a Public Domain Image from NYPL Cover Blurb “Why? We’re not at war with Germany.” “With all due respect, sir, Nazi Germany is at war with us.” After a night of terror, Britain wakes up to discover that the entire nation has been thrown back in time, to 1940…and the Germans are at the door. As they struggle to react to the new environment, it occurs to some people that there is an opportunity here – to reverse the verdict of history and create a world where Britain is the only superpower. Forced into a war they won once before, the British struggle to understand what has happened, as the ripples of the sudden change in the future spread across the world. Under threat from Hitler, Mussolini, Japan…and a surprise member of the Axis of Evil, can Britain survive long enough to reshape the world? Author’s Note Due to the difficulties of predicting the exact capabilities of the UK’s defence establishment from day to day, following a whole series of unwise political decisions, this book attempts to give the British armed forces a balanced capability, between the optimistic and the pessimistic possibilities. Certain future projects, the Eurofighter and the Type-45 destroyer, have been included, others, the future carrier, haven’t been included as their capabilities are unknown at this time. My apologies for any confusion. CGN Chapter One: Transition Chapter One Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ) London, UK 6th July 1940 It all happened very suddenly at midnight; one moment everything was normal, the next all of the satellite communications had cut off.
