WW2 Daily Express Newspaper – 12th September 1940 – Battle of Britain Newspaper

A great Second World War Daily Express Newspaper dated 12th September 1940, published during one of the most critical periods of the Battle of Britain.

Issued just days after the opening of the Blitz against London and at a time when Britain stood on the brink of a possible German invasion, this original newspaper captures the atmosphere, uncertainty and determination of wartime Britain. Newspapers from this period provide a fascinating day-by-day record of events as they unfolded, making them highly desirable historical documents for collectors, researchers and Battle of Britain enthusiasts.
