I know there is a a fairly comprehensive account of the Clydebank Blitz by I McPhail giving detail of the raids over the burgh in March 1941. Is there any such books detailing events over Glasgow?
From various sources i am aware of bombs in Kelvinside, Hyndland, Kelvinway on the bridge, Govan Docks, Plantation, Govan Road near Southern General, St Anthonys FC near Ibrox, Queens Park Church and Barrowland.
Does anyone have any further Glasgow sites to add to the list or any links. I have had a good look through HG forums but it is that big now it is difficult to see if this topic has been fully covered.
I've just joined so apologies if I'm a bit behind the latest comments in this forum. I've had a quick look through the responses and I don't immediately see a mention of one book that I've come across that would help your researches. It's called "This Time of Crisis - Glasgow, the West of Scotland and the North Western Approaches in the Second World War", Andrew Jeffery, Mainstream, 1993 (ISBN 1 85158 582 6). It has a lot of useful detail about the bombing raids on Glasgow and the ground locations of bomb explosions.
