Episode 91: Pigeons at War!

from WW1: Not So Quiet On The Western Front! Hosted by Dan Hill and Dr. Spencer Jones

In this episode we take to the air once more, but this time on the trail of one of the unsung heroes of the great war - the carrier pigeon. Equally vital for communication on the frontlines, maintaining unit cohesion in battle, or as a handy snack, we’ll explore their role and the stories of a few famous birds who took to the skies above the western front.
