The first ever full account of the Zeppelin attacks on Great Britain, using previously unpublished German archives
This is the first full, raid by raid, year by year account of the zeppelin air raids on Britain during World War I based on material drawn from official reports and document from both Britain and Germany during the era, including the zeppelin raid reports complied by the Intelligence Section, General Headquarters, Great Britain which at the time, and for many years afterwards, were classified "secret." The result of 25 years of research in both public and private archives, this book provides an insight into the zeppelin raids of World War I like never before. Locations of where the bombs fell, rare and previously unpublished photographs of bomb damage, zeppelin crash sites and crews, names of previously publicly unidentified victims, RFC and RNAS pilot combat reports, and a host of zeppelin ephemera, related propaganda material, and memorabilia are all included in this remarkable work.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In 1907, H.G. Wells published a science fiction novel called The War in the Air. It proved to be portentous. In the early years of the First World War, German lighter-than-air flying machines, Zeppelins, undertook a series of attacks on the British mainland. German military strategy was to subdue Britain, both by the damage these raids caused and by the terrifying nature of the craft that carried them out.This strategy proved successful. The early raids caused significant damage, many civilian casualties and provoked terror and anger in equal measure. But the British rapidly learnt how to deal with these futuristic monsters. A variety of defence mechanisms were developed: searchlights, guns and fighter aircraft were deployed, the British learnt to pick up the airshipsa radio messages and a central communications headquarters was set up. Within months aerial strategy and its impact on the lives of civilians and the course of conflict became part of human warfare. As the Chief of the Imperial German Naval Airship Division, Peter Strasser, crisply put it: aThere is no such thing as a non-combatant any more.
