Book Description

November 2003
Jane was a wartime phenomenon. A sensation. She was also an important feature in the morale of Britain's fighting forces around the world and to those left behind on the ""Home Front"". So important, in fact, that her fame extended to the House of Commons where one wartime MP referred to our troops as ""Jane's fighting men!""

Until now there has been no published study of Jane or the woman who inspired her. This book fills the gap with a publication which will have a wide appeal. In a production combining words, photographs and selective cartoons, an in-depth look is taken at the Jane story and, in particular, the beautiful real life model behind that story, Christabel Leighton-Porter.

A wealth of pictorial and photographic material exists to illustrate this highly visual story. Much of it has never before seen the light of day. All of it is of high quality and a considerable quantity falls into the 'glamor' category which will appeal to both male and female readers in what is an interesting study of wartime Britain and of Jane's historical and sociological importance of those times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot and interesting, April 5, 2004
This review is from: Jane - a Pin-Up at War (Hardcover)
This book is about Christabel Leighton-Porter, the model for 'Jane' the pin up who helped many an Englishman make his way through the war. This wonderful little read is complete with many pin up drawings, cartoons, news clippings, and best of all many exposing nudes of the model Christabel. A very sexy read that bares all for the reader. (...)
