Here we present 54 quizzes and more than 1,000 questions covering events, films, music, celebrities, fads, fashions, comedians, actors, inventions, advertisements, toys, novels, sporting greats and scientific achievements that made a 40s childhood unique. This special decade witnessed the first long-playing phonograph record, the last execution at the Tower of London, and did you know that in 1943 a pint of beer cost the equivalent of just 5p today? You could hear Anne Shelon, Duke Ellington and Vera Lynn on the radio, and watch Audie Murphy, Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart on the big screen. Wolverhampton Wanderers won the FA Cup, Hitler was defeated, and penicillin went into mass production. George Formby, Dunkirk, Bing Crosby, famous film quotes, you will be hooked.
