Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Tempus Edition. Hardback. Air Raid Precautions. During the late 1930s it was finally realised that war with Hitler's Germany was a major possibility. As the armed forces began their re-arming, the Home Front was not neglected. In the intervening twenty years since the end of the First World War, war had changed for the worst. Aircraft had progressed and had become potent fighting machines, capable of flying huge distances with large payloads of bombs. The realities of 'Total War' and of the 'Blitz' were almost upon Britain and this book was sent out to almost every home in the land. Filled with useful advice, much of which was to become second nature to those in our industrial heartland and large citiess, this book became a classic of wartime reading, so much so that Britain's Air Raid Precautions was printed in its entirety, with no changes, for the American, New Zealand and Australian householder too. From protection from gas attackes to preparing a safe refuge and even first aid for bomb victims, the book is a mine of invaluable advice for the Blitz-weary householder.
