Allied air news
Allied Air News was a British news agency that was established in 1943 to provide news coverage of the Allied forces during World War II. The agency was founded by the British government and was responsible for gathering and disseminating news from the front lines to the British public.
Allied Air News was known for its extensive coverage of the war in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific, and its reporters were embedded with the Allied forces to provide firsthand accounts of the fighting. The agency also provided news coverage of the war from a British perspective, highlighting the contributions of British forces and the impact of the war on British civilians.
Some of the notable correspondents who worked for Allied Air News during World War II include:
- Richard Dimbleby, a British journalist who was one of the first correspondents to report from the front lines in North Africa and Europe.
- Wynford Vaughan-Thomas, a Welsh journalist who reported from the front lines in North Africa and Italy.
- Chester Wilmot, a British journalist who reported from the front lines in North Africa, Italy, and Europe.
Allied Air News continued to operate after the end of World War II, providing news coverage of the post-war period and the early years of the Cold War. However, the agency eventually ceased operations in the 1950s.
Here are some examples of Allied Air News reports from World War II:

These reports provide a unique perspective on the war and offer a glimpse into the daily lives of Allied forces during World War II.
