GERMAN AIR RAIDS ON GREAT BRITAIN 1914-1918

Only full history of German airship and aircraft bombing raids on Britain in the Great War. The 103 attacks left 1413 dead. Written with access to official records and from both sides of the campaign. The record of then fifty-one German airship and fifty-two aircraft bombing raids on England during the Great War in which 280 tons of bombs were dropped. Casualties amounted to 1413 killed and 3408 wounded. This account is the first complete record of the raids which also explains the origins and development of the German air bombing campaign over Britain and how it was countered. Contemporary photos supplement the text in which German as well as British experiences are described. The author had access to official records in particular a series of Air Raid reports prepared as they occurred by the War Office. An extremely unusual and valuable book.
