4.9/5 (30466 ratings)

Description:A visual history of this forgotten WWI bombing campaign: "A fantastic book. Remnants of stained glass windows, grocery shop scales . . . and so much more." --War History OnlineThe First World War ushered in many new and increasingly deadly weapons and strategies--none more so than Germany's sustained aerial bombing campaign against Britain, which opened an entirely new theatre of war--the Home Front. It was a shocking awakening to twentieth-century warfare for the military and civilians alike.There are still fascinating glimpses of this first air campaign, long overshadowed by the Blitz of World War II--to be found in the streets of British towns and cities. Often unnoticed, each tells its own dramatic tale of death and destruction, or maybe of heroism and narrow escapes. Museums hold tantalizing reminders of the air raids, from complete aircraft that defended the country to relics of great Zeppelins that initially brought terror to the British population but ultimately were doomed to become nothing more than great heaps of burnt and twisted wreckage. This first-time assault from the air both terrified and fascinated citizens--and unexpectedly, a significant trade in air raid souvenirs developed, from postcards of wrecked houses and bomb craters to china models of Zeppelins and their bombs and pieces of Zeppelin wreckage. And among the 100 Objects brought together in this book, there can also be found tales of resilience, humor, and determination--which all have their place in the story of this First BlitzWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
