On this episode of the Authors of History podcast I am joined by Author, Historian and Podcaster Jane Gulliford Lowes.
Jane is a writer, a historian, and podcaster from the northeast of England. She has been obsessed with history and especially World War II and the social history of the Northeast from an early age. She holds a degree in law and a master’s degree in the Second World War studies. Jane was awarded the RAF Museum’s Prestigious Academic Award in 2023 for her thesis on RAF Bomber Command Gardening Operations, which is also the subject of her latest book. The Invisible Campaign.
Jane’s first book The Horsekeeper’s Daughter was published in 2017. It tells the true story of one of the hundreds of women who left the North East mining villages in the 1880s to travel alone to Australia, to start new lives. Her second book, Above Us The Stars: 10 Squadron Bomber Command – The Wireless Operator’s Story, focuses on the experiences of a young Bomber Command aircrewman during World War 2, and of the family he left behind in the small mining town of Seaham Harbour.
She has also published 2 ebooks, She Was Only A Coalminer’s Daughter – Stories of a Seaham Childhood, and How to Write Your Family History – A Beginner’s Guide, both exclusively available on Amazon Kindle.
Jane is also a podcatser, the producer and co-host of the popular Bomber Command podcast, Nevermind the Dam Busters.
