Purnell's History of the Second World War

 I had these growing up. A part work from newsagents weekly. My Uncle Arthur worked for Purnell's as a proof reader and got us copies of these. We had all the volumes plus some duplicates.    When we wargamed it in the 70s these were invaluable. They had nice reconstructions but I haven't found any images online. If you have any get in touch.

A typical cover. Very good colour printing for the time 1966

This is what they looked like with their binders
