BBC News 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.
