Google Earth has now added a 1945 aerial view of Birmingham (not sure when it was done but I have only just got th hear about it).
If you have never used Google Earth before:
Download Google Earth and install it.
https://earth.google.co.uk/
Open Google Earth and type "Birmingham" in the search box to display map of Birmingham as it is now (you can use the slider on the right to zoom in and out).
Now select the "clock" icon on the task bar at the top (you have to be on Google Earth version 5 to get the clock).
You now get a slider which you can slide from right to left. If it is on the right hand side it is showing 2010, but as you go to the left it shows 2009, 2005, 2003, 1999 etc. and if you go fully to the left you get 1945.
