Discover the untold story of the RAF heroes who photographed victory.What if the intelligence that won World War II didn't come from Bletchley Park — but from the skies above? In this gripping episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by historians and podcasters Dave Robertson and Tony Hoskins from For You The War Is Over to uncover the hidden story of the RAF's Photographic Reconnaissance Unit (PRU) — the unarmed pilots who risked everything to capture the images that shaped Allied strategy and victory.These daring aviators, flying stripped-down Spitfires and Mosquitos, gathered over 26 million photographs during the war — producing 80% of all Allied intelligence. But their story remains one of WWII's least recognised triumphs.The Untold Legacy of Aerial IntelligenceEnigma cracked codes, but aerial reconnaissance won battles. Dave and Tony reveal how the PRU began as a handful of maverick pilots before evolving into a highly specialised global intelligence unit that transformed modern warfare. They share the staggering dangers these pilots faced — flying alone, unarmed, and often without armour — at freezing altitudes to capture photos over heavily defended targets.From the development of stereography and 3D imaging that made D-Day possible, to the astonishing innovation behind Sandy Gunn's Spitfire, the episode brings to life the courage, technology, and sacrifice of those who turned cameras into weapons of war.You'll also hear how today's historians and engineers are preserving this legacy — including the restoration of Sandy Gunn's Spitfire (AA810) and the creation of a new memorial in London to honour PRU crews.Featuring Guests:

Farwell and Dan also do a deep dive into the CHL Team of the Century, giving you the scoop on a new documentary coming out later this month while talking about some big teams from the past that had to be in consideration for the title.

Ahead of the August bank holiday weekend we're being encouraged to visit part of the Kent coast - despite it's poor water quality rating.The owners of Dymchurch Amusement Park say there's more to do there than just swimming.Last November the Environment Agency downgraded the beach's water quality to poor and issued a no-swim warning.Also in today's podcast, a woman who moved to Kent when the war started in Ukraine has told the podcast she doesn't think the Russian president will ever agree to meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Donald Trump has started plans to bring the leaders together after meeting them separately over the past week.

We've been speaking to a young player from Medway Rugby Club.

A Kent landlord has revealed plans to offer woodland to a council for a traveller camp.Fergus Wilson has said he will sell a 12 acre site in Boughton Monchelsea, that he bought in the 1980s, to Maidstone Borough Council.The local authority recently launched a search for suitable land to accommodate a 15 pitch camp.Also in today's podcast, the Reform UK leader of Kent County Council has told local authorities to check up on the legal status of asylum hotels.Linden Kemkaran has spoken out after a High Court decision to stop people being housed at a hotel in Epping.Thousands of teenagers across Kent have been picking up their GCSE results today.National figures show the number of students getting top grades has risen slightly from last year and remains higher than before the Covid pandemic.

The body of a much-loved son has been found in woodland, over a week after he was reported missing.The 32-year-old hadn't been seen since he was spotted in Hawkhurst last Tuesday – it comes just a day after his family made an appeal for information. Also in today's podcast, the number of children getting an MMR jab in Kent must increase to prevent a measles outbreak, the county's director of public health has warned.The percentage of youngsters in both Kent and Medway coming forward for immunisation has slumped over the last few years - falling well below the targets needed to eradicate the highly contagious infection.KentOnline's Blue Badge Battle campaign has been debated at Westminster Hall, with the government agreeing to meet to discuss possible changes.It's after KentOnline put forward local case studies - showing the need for flexibility from councillors and for the introduction of a temporary badge system. You can hear the moment a prolific shoplifter tried to jump off railings near pier in Medway in a failed bid to flee police.He'd been accused of shoplifting offences adding up to £400 and was spotted in Chatham High Street by officers. And in cricket, Kent captain Sam Billings says the Spitfires can only focus on themselves as they bid to reach the Vitality Blast quarter-finals.Billings knows victory at home to Essex tomorrow at Canterbury could see them qualify for the last eight - but they might still need other results to go their way.

Some residents of a Leamington subdivision remain under a boil water advisory, a driver is stopped in Windsor for going twice the speed limit, and the Spitfires sign their 2025 first-round pick. All the noon headlines on the go.

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas speaks with author Becky Aikman about her book 'Spitfires,' which uncovers the remarkable stories of American women pilots during World War II. These women, known as the ‘Atta Girls,' defied societal expectations and took to the skies to ferry military aircraft for the British during a time when their contributions were largely forgotten. Aikman shares insights into the lives of these pioneering aviators, the challenges they faced, and the impact they had on aviation and women's roles in wartime. This conversation explores the remarkable stories of American women pilots during World War II, focusing on their bravery, social lives, and the challenges they faced both in the air and on the ground. The discussion highlights their daring incidents, coping mechanisms for psychological tolls, and the significant social changes they experienced. It also delves into class differences, cultural clashes, and the impact of their contributions on women's rights and aviation history. The legacy of these women is celebrated, emphasizing their determination and the recognition they deserve. Links Spitfires: The American Women Who Flew in the Face of Danger During World War II - Amazon Link Spitfires - Bookshop.org link Becky Aikman Official Website Takeaways The book highlights the bravery and ambition of American women pilots during WWII. Becky Aikman was inspired by her mother's recollection of these women. Hazel Jane Rains is a central figure in the narrative of the Etta Girls. The women faced significant dangers, including mechanical failures and unpredictable weather. Despite their contributions, these women were largely forgotten after the war. The British military was more accepting of women pilots compared to the American military. The women enjoyed a sense of freedom and control while serving in the war. Aikman meticulously researched crash scenes using multiple sources. The spirit of competition and ambition drove these women to excel in aviation. The story of these women is a testament to breaking barriers in aviation. They lived life to the fullest despite the dangers. Winnie Pierce was known for her wild flying style. Pilots had to make split-second decisions in crises. Compartmentalization was key to coping with trauma. The war provided a sense of freedom for women. Class differences created initial cultural clashes. Social lives were intertwined with their careers. Women in aviation paved the way for future generations. Recognition of their contributions is long overdue. Flying represented freedom and joy for these women. Sound Bites "These daring aviators defied expectations." "You could not make this up." "The British treated them equally." "They were living life to the fullest." "They compartmentalized their trauma." "It was very freeing for them." "It was all about who you know." "Women have done this or that." "They just did it." "They loved that freedom."

They were crop dusters and debutantes, college girls and performers in flying circuses-all of them trained as pilots. Because they were women, they were denied the opportunity to fly for their country when the United States entered the Second World War. But Great Britain, desperately fighting for survival, would let anyone-even Americans, even women-transport warplanes. Thus, twenty-five daring young aviators bolted for England in 1942, becoming the first American women to command military aircraft. In a faraway land, these "spitfires" lived like women decades ahead of their time. Risking their lives in one of the deadliest jobs of the war, they ferried new, barely tested fighters and bombers to air bases and returned shot-up wrecks for repair, never knowing what might go wrong until they were high in the sky. Many ferry pilots died in crashes or made spectacular saves. It was exciting, often terrifying work. The pilots broke new ground off duty as well, shocking their hosts with thoroughly modern behavior. With cinematic sweep, in Spitfires: The American Women Who Flew in the Face of Danger during World War II (Bloomsbury, 2025) Becky Aikman follows the stories of nine of the women who served, drawing on unpublished diaries, letters, and records, along with her own interviews, to bring these forgotten heroines fully to life. Spitfires is a vivid, richly detailed account of war, ambition, and a group of remarkable women whose lives were as unconventional as their dreams. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Host Diana Korte speaks with award-winning journalist Becky Aikman about her new book, “SPITFIRES. The American Women Who Flew in the Face of Danger During World War II.” This is a fast paced true story of the 25 US women who flew the world's most dangerous aircraft through the treacherous skies of Britain during World War II eighty years ago. Another fifty years would pass before the first American woman piloted a US fighter plane in combat.They were crop dusters and debutantes, college girls and performers in flying circuses — all of them pilots who wanted to serve in World War II. Because they were women, their own country turned them away. But Great Britain, in a desperate fight for survival, would let anyone — even Americans, even women -- fly warplanes. Twenty-five of them bolted for England in 1942. They became the first American women to fly perilous missions in military aircraft. In England these “spitfires” lived like women decades ahead of their time.

They were crop dusters and debutantes, college girls and performers in flying circuses-all of them trained as pilots. Because they were women, they were denied the opportunity to fly for their country when the United States entered the Second World War. But Great Britain, desperately fighting for survival, would let anyone-even Americans, even women-transport warplanes. Thus, twenty-five daring young aviators bolted for England in 1942, becoming the first American women to command military aircraft. In a faraway land, these "spitfires" lived like women decades ahead of their time. Risking their lives in one of the deadliest jobs of the war, they ferried new, barely tested fighters and bombers to air bases and returned shot-up wrecks for repair, never knowing what might go wrong until they were high in the sky. Many ferry pilots died in crashes or made spectacular saves. It was exciting, often terrifying work. The pilots broke new ground off duty as well, shocking their hosts with thoroughly modern behavior. With cinematic sweep, in Spitfires: The American Women Who Flew in the Face of Danger during World War II (Bloomsbury, 2025) Becky Aikman follows the stories of nine of the women who served, drawing on unpublished diaries, letters, and records, along with her own interviews, to bring these forgotten heroines fully to life. Spitfires is a vivid, richly detailed account of war, ambition, and a group of remarkable women whose lives were as unconventional as their dreams. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Storbritannien stod ensamt kvar mot Nazityskland efter Frankrikes fall. Adolf Hitler ville egentligen ha fred med Storbritannien, men britterna och premiärminister Winston Churchill valde att fortsätta kämpa.För att kunna invadera Storbritannien behövde Luftwaffe först besegra Royal Air Force (RAF) och etablera luftherravälde. Under flera månader kämpade brittiska jaktflygare i Spitfires och Hurricanes mot det numerärt överlägsna Luftwaffe. Trots svåra förluster lyckades RAF stå emot, och när hösten anlände stod det klart att Tyskland hade misslyckats med att krossa det brittiska försvaret.Detta är det femte avsnittet i en serie av sju om andra världskriget från podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia, om Slaget om Storbritannien 1940.Slaget om Storbritannien blev en vändpunkt i andra världskriget. När Frankrike kapitulerade den 22 juni 1940 blev Storbritanniens situation kritisk. Landet stod nu ensamt, med en krigsmakt som var försvagad efter evakueringen vid Dunkerque. De brittiska styrkorna hade förlorat stora mängder tung materiel, inklusive stridsvagnar, artilleri och transportfordon.Churchills beslutsamhet blev avgörande för Storbritanniens motstånd. Trots att vissa inom regeringen, inklusive utrikesminister Lord Halifax, övervägde en fredsuppgörelse, stod Churchill fast vid sin linje. Han ansåg att fred med Hitler endast skulle vara en kortsiktig lösning som på sikt skulle leda till att Storbritannien tvingades leva under Nazitysklands dominans. Hans beslutsamhet stärkte den brittiska moralen och bidrog till att landet stod emot trycket från Tyskland.Tysklands invasionsplan, Operation Seelöwe, byggde på att Hermann Görings Luftwaffe först behövde besegra RAF och neutralisera den brittiska flottan genom flyganfall. Planen var ambitiös men riskabel – transportfartygen var långsamma och sårbara, och utan luftherravälde skulle de bli lätta mål för brittiska bombflyg och örlogsfartyg.Luftwaffes inledande offensiv började i juli 1940 med attacker mot brittiska hamnar och fartyg i Engelska kanalen. Dessa anfall syftade till att locka ut RAF:s jaktflyg och försvaga det brittiska försvaret innan den stora offensiven tog vid. I augusti gick tyskarna vidare till nästa fas: systematiska anfall mot RAF:s flygbaser, radarsystem och logistik. Under dessa veckor var RAF hårt pressat och förlorade många flygplan och piloter. Trots detta lyckades britterna hålla sina radaranläggningar intakta, vilket var avgörande för att kunna förutse de tyska anfallen.Bild: En formation av Supermarine Spitfire Mk I från No. 610 Squadron, baserad på Biggin Hill, under ett uppdrag den 24 juli 1940. Flygplanen, inklusive N3289 ('DW-K') och R6595 ('DW-O'), flyger i den karakteristiska "vic"-formationen som användes av Royal Air Force under Slaget om Storbritannien. Fotografi taget av Daventry B.J. (F/O), Royal Air Force, och tillhör Imperial War Museums samlingar. Wikipedia. Public Domain.Musik: Wir fahren gegen Engeland av Musikkorpt eines Infanterieregimentes - leitung: B. Ahlers "Wir fahren gegen Engeland" är en tysk marschsång från andra världskriget, känd för sin användning i propagandasyfte. Sången skrevs 1939 av Herms Niel, en av de mest produktiva kompositörerna av tysk marschmusik under det nazistiska Tredje riket. Den användes i samband med Tysklands planer på en invasion av Storbritannien, Operation Seelöwe, men blev även en del av den bredare propagandakulturen inom Wehrmacht.

Wednesday is the 80th anniversary of VE Day, marking Germany’s unconditional surrender and the end of WWII in Europe. A new book “Spitfires” tells the little-known contribution American women made to that outcome by flying combat aircraft — not for U.S. forces, which denied them the opportunity, but for Britain’s Air Transport Auxiliary.

Spitfires, it's confession time. In this episode, Lauren LeMunyan owns up to getting swept away by the feel-good "Let Them" theory — and why she's now calling B.S. Lauren breaks down where the theory falls flat, the danger of oversimplified advice, and why real change starts with critical thinking (not catchy mantras). Get ready for honest reflection, some hard-earned lessons, and a fiery reminder that doing the work beats wishful thinking every damn time.   Original Episode: https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/thespitfirepodcast/Let_Them.mp37"   If Books Could Kill" Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-let-them-theory/id1651876897?i=1000704577681 

I'm going to make a quick confession to you here:  The Battle of Britain is one of my three favorite parts of all of human history.  The other two would be the Roman Empire at the time of Jesus, and then the American Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and the Constitution, all of that right as the US was being founded. And then this, the Battle of Britain.  Why is this one one of my favorites periods?  Well, it's got it all:  a clear villain, a heroic underdog who fights valiantly, a moment when all seems lost, and then a sudden change of fortunes as the tide begins to turn.  The battle of Helm's Deep, or the Battle of Minas Tirith - this has the same narrative arc.  Plus, it has some of the most amazing airplanes that ever flew, which I will get to in a bit.  The American war for Independence was cool, but they didn't have Spitfires or Messerschmitts.  Neither did Minas Tirith.  I guess Mordor did have the Nazgul on their flying lizards, but that's not quite the same.  Anyway, this was one of those crucial turning points in history, where if it had gone differently, even by a small bit, our modern world would not be the same.  It really was a pretty close shave.  email:  shortwalkthroughhistory@gmail.com

Sorry. Anyway. Carney's in. We wish him well. We comment on his cabinet. Some surprises there. Also some signs that the PM plans on taking his party to the right, or at least back into the centre. Speaking of the right, we have some pretty tough talk for the CPC. You're losing this, guys. It's slipping away from you. This episode has also been brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Forestry supports 200,000 Canadians in hundreds of communities, generating $87 billion in annual revenues and $37 billion in exports — including $29 billion to the United States.

To learn more about what forestry can do for Canada, visit ForestryForTheFuture.ca.We also spend some time on Justin Trudeau's legacy. The heavy lifting on that is going to be done by historians, but Matt goes full Munich Conference and demands to know why Trudeau didn't build more Hurricanes and Spitfires. They talk about how what Trudeau will be best remembered for looks pretty weird today, in an era of global upheaval. They also talk about some of the buzz around his scandals. We expect that won't go away for a while.They end up by recapping a bit of the Trump madness down south. Doug Ford tried to get tough. It didn't stick. Portugal makes an interesting decision. And we keep seeing some interesting signs of worry about Trump even from people quite close to the president. Matt proposes a strategy for fighting back, and Jen gives it an, ahem, unfortunate name. You'll have to listen.

In episode #285, we welcome Head Coach of the Windsor Spitfires, Greg Walters, someone who has thrived on his ability to be consistent and has never had a losing season. He is currently in his first season with the Spitfires following a year suspension that involved an inappropriate altercation with another Owen Sound employee. In this episode, he shares what he learned from that experience and we believe it's something that all coaches can benefit from hearing. Following eight seasons as an Assistant Coach with the Sarnia Sting to begin his coaching journey, Walters took over the Georgetown Raiders of the Ontario Jr A league for eight seasons, guiding them to 295 wins, a league championship and earning himself both coach and executive of the year honors. He would then return to the OHL as a Head Coach in Oshawa and Owen Sound, before landing in Windsor following the aforementioned suspension. Listen as he shares what he learned from incident that led to his suspension and the work he's done to overcome it, why good defence starts with breaking out the puck, and creating a culture of quality and self-evaluation.

It's not quite Christmas, but a couple of teams have caught our attention because they're not where we thought they would be. Also, in case you'd forgotten that the OHL was big business, just consider the lengths the league will go to in order to make sure a game gets played. Dan and Mike are talking about the Top Prospects Game and who's missing from Canada's World Junior roster, plus don't forget The Wraparound, which looks at every team in the league. And in a script straight out of Hollywood, good triumphed over evil in Windsor, while Farwell removed the Spitfires from his Christmas card list. The OHL Podcast is supported by Draft Kings Sportsboook, GameTime, and the Skylight Frame.

Echamos a la marmita unas cuantas reediciones de material añejo que han visto la luz últimamente. Abrimos con un disco de psicodelia y rock ácido realmente asombroso. El único álbum de Kaleidoscope, grabado en República Dominicana en 1967 y reeditado por Guerssen Records. Discos Quilombo nos lleva a Uruguay rescatando un imbatible single de Los Iracundos, y desde México llega una curiosidad de Julissa y los Spitfires que fue censurada allá por 1961.

I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and today we have a truly remarkable episode lined up for you.

Our guest today is none other than the bestselling author Smithsonian Associate Philippa Gregory.

But today, Philippa brings us something entirely different and profoundly impactful. Her latest book, Normal Women, is a groundbreaking exploration of the lives of women in England from 1066 to the present day. Imagine women who rode in jousts, flew Spitfires during World War II, issued their own currency, and built ships and corn mills. Picture female soldiers, highwaywomen, pirates, miners, and even theater impresarios. These are not the stories of queens and noblewomen we often hear, but of the ordinary, yet extraordinary, women who have been the true backbone of English society. In today's episode, Philippa Gregory will share with us how she unearthed these incredible stories from the annals of history, revealing a tapestry of lives that are as diverse and varied as the women themselves. We'll delve into the challenges these women faced, the prejudices they overcame, and the indelible marks they left on history. That of course is out guest today, Smithsonian Associate Phiippa Gregory, reading a brief passage from her new book. Philippa's new book, Normal Women, offers a radical reframing of England's history, highlighting the persistence, ingenuity, and contributions of women throughout the centuries. It's a narrative that not only celebrates the past but also inspires the present and future. So, sit back and get ready to be enlightened, entertained, and moved by the stories of women who, though often overlooked, played a pivotal role in shaping the world as we know it.
