A secret First World War map showing the routes of German bombers has been published in a new book.

Mapping the First World War, by Dr Peter Chasseaud from Lewes, shows the paths of aeroplanes flying into England for an air raid on December 6, 1917.

Released to coincide with the centenary of the war, it features visually striking maps, aerial photography and before and after pictures of the allied positions in key offensives on all fronts.

Dr Chasseaud is a historian of military cartography, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a founder of the Historical Military Mapping Group of the British Cartographic Society, a member of the Defence Surveyors Association and the author of the standard works on trench mapping and toponymy, the study of place names.
