WW2 aerial photos opened to public for first time
A Collection of photographs taken during World War Two have been opened to The Public for the First Time .
The Aerial images were taken by the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) Photographic Reconnaissance units while stationed at bases across England in 1943 and 1944.
The 3,600 photographs offer a birds-eye view of the country as it changed during The War .
This includes bomb damage to towns and cities as well as Old Trafford football stadium in Greater Manchester .
Damage to the main stand of the Salford football ground can be seen in the photo, after it was hit in a bombing raid in March 1941.
The home of Manchester United was not used again for football until 1949.
They also captured ancient monuments surrounded by anti-tank defences in West Sussex , such as Cissbury Ring Iron Age hillfort in Worthing where ditches and concrete cubes can be seen laid out to impede an enemy advance.
There is also a low-level photograph showing part of a US Army camp in Wiltshire which shows firing ranges in the foreground while troops play a game of baseball in a recreation field in The Top left of The Image .
The Collection has been made available to The Public for the First Time in an online, searchable map on the Historic England Archive.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England , said The Collection recorded " changes taking place in England" as well as " capturing fascinating incidental detail, like American troops playing baseball".
" Our collection of USAAF wartime photographs were taken in England by the pilots and aircraft of squadrons that provided intelligence for the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany , " He Said .
" This came at a cost, with many pilots killed in The Line of duty.
" We Are making these images available to The Public for the First Time online, giving people access to this remarkable collection of historic photographs. "
