Summary

The first ever full account of the Zeppelin attacks on Great Britain, using previously unpublished German archives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 Locations of where the bombs fell, rare and previously unpublished photographs of bomb damage, zeppelin crash sites and crews, names of previously publicly unidentified victims, RFC and RNAS pilot combat reports, and a host of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.
