This catalogue provides a guide to some 19,000 oblique air photographs taken by the Royal Air Force during the preparation of the National Air Photographic Survey in the period 1945-9, immediately following World War II. An introduction sets out the background to this National Survey, which also includes a collection of over 263,000 overlapping vertical images at a scale of 1:10,000. The emphasis here, however, is placed on the oblique photographs which were taken at a lower level and offer a unique view of urban and industrial Scotland in a period of post-war transition.
