Description
This book tells the story of Germany's strategic Zeppelin offensive against Britain, and how it came to be neutralized.
The first Zeppelin attack on London came in May 1915 – and with it came the birth of a new arena of warfare, the 'home front'. German airships attempted to raid London on 26 separate occasions between May 1915 and October 1917.
In this compact, highly-illustrated volume, Ian Castle details the origins, plans and execution and conclusion of these raids.
