It is aimed squarely at, conscientious adults who take their child's education seriously, and curious children looking for inspiring influences.World War 2 is on the curriculum at both primary and secondary level but there is hardly a mention of any African/Caribbean involvement. Africa, the Caribbean and its people were crucial to winning the war and this interactive presentation shows Trinidadian Spitfire and Barbadian bomber pilots, Nigerian troops fighting in Burma. Somali ships and sailors, black and asian women secret agents, German submarines in the Caribbean and the importance of Africa and India’s raw materials all feature.
