After the War Was Over

This book is a one-off, never-to-be repeated opportunity to acquire a high-quality representative pictorial record of all the operations of the amazing firm of Pearson's of Liverpool during and just after World War II. Arguably, it is the amazing photographs of wartime Liverpool showing the various locations that had been bombed and cleared that will appeal most. All Liverpudlians and those interested in the city's wartime history will find themselves drawn to keep studying them as they contain so much detail in the backgrounds. Considerable work has been undertaken to establish the various locations for readers' benefits. In addition there are immediate post-war shots showing how the city looked when peace came but when rationing and deprivation was worse than during the conflict.For the military vehicle enthusiast there are stunning photographs of vehicles being assembled when new and after wartime rebuild, for the British, Canadian and US forces, and some for Government-approved essential users. The post-war shots show how many of the same types were then acquired and rebuilt for civilian use. Some of these photographs will be of considerable reference value for modelers.
