Product Information
During the summer months of 1944, a daily onslaught by V-1 jet-propelled flying bombs, heading for London and southern England, was countered in the skies of Kent and Sussex. To the pilots, British press, and bewildered public, Hitler's 'secret weapons' became known variously as Divers, Buzz Bombs, Flying Bombs, Doodlebugs, Dingbats, Robots, Jet-Ships, P-Planes, Witches and even Farting Furies. But they were dangerous, with thousands of civilians losing their lives. Launched from the Pas de Calais, the V-1s came in over the Channel at between 1,000 and 2,000 feet at speeds approaching 400mph. They proved a difficult target to intercept, much less to bring down. However, many fighter pilots did become 'aces', one alone accounting for 60 of them. By March 1945, when the aerial bombardment ended, a staggering 10,000 V-1s had been launched (including 1,500 from the air). However, with 42 per cent being destroyed by the defences, half of these alone by the RAF, it is clear tens of thousands of people were saved. In this significant work, respected historians detail every known success by the defending pilots of over 13 nationalities, and where detected, record all locations and casualties of V-1 impacts in London and the south east. In doing so, they rely heavily not only on official documents and combat reports, but also on the vital accounts of the pilots themselves and those on the ground, many of which are quoted verbatim.

- c***t (30)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaVery happy with my order. Just want I wanted and as described. Really impressed. Carefully packaged with some additional padding provided by a ‘96 issue of Air International, which in itself I’m pleased to have! There was a little delay in initial communication, but that may have been outside the sellers control. I would definitely recommend aviationbooks and will be ordering again in the future. Thank you!
- s***p (49)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaThe item arrived promptly, suitably packaged and exactly as described. In addition, included in the package was an extra item, no charge, but of similar interest to the item purchased. Now I cannot guarantee that this will happen to you, but it makes you think! So I would order from this seller again without hesitation!
