Description

The Forgotten Blitz of 1914-1915: A New Perspective The outbreak of the First World War marked a turning point in the history of aerial warfare. With no effective aerial defense capability, the United Kingdom was left vulnerable to German air raids. The Royal Flying Corps, which had accompanied the British Expeditionary Force into Europe, was unable to provide adequate protection, leaving the Royal Naval Air Service to defend the country alone. The German air campaign against the United Kingdom was a sustained and devastating attack, culminating in highly damaging assaults on London in September and October 1915. The city was not the only recipient of German bombs, however, as counties from Northumberland to Kent also suffered indiscriminate death and destruction. The British population was initially left exposed and largely undefended, with civilians killed in the streets or lying asleep in their beds. In "Zeppelin Onslaught", Ian Castle tells the complete story of the 1915 raids in unprecedented detail, shedding new light on this pivotal moment in history.
