A Chicago native, William Vandivert (1912-1990) covered a wide swath of the Midwest until LIFE sent him to England for what was supposed to be a six-month tour in 1938. World War II altered his plans.
From the 1st night of the Blitz, Vandivert was out on London’s docks, and for the next two and a half yrs he recorded the horrific bombing and magnificent stoicism of the English.
