"Many of us have heard stories, read books and watched films which show the many impacts of WWII across the world. Today we're giving you another way to understand this period in time - by exploring a new set of historical aerial images, taken over European cities during World War II, via the historical imagery feature in Google Earth. They can now be compared directly to images from the present day"

Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds.

A lot of aerial survey work was done prior to WW2 by both British and German aircraft, and it wasn't all of their own countries either.
The PR archives in the UK alone are massive, and they are trying to get the photos online too. The whole of the UK was surveyed by air during 1946-47.
