Recreates the atmosphere of life as it was when the flying bombs - V1 and V2, or Doodle and Rocket - were launched by the Germans in a last-ditch effort to change the tide of World War II. This book recounts how the bombs were designed to destroy London, but hundreds were shot down over Kent.
This illustrated history of World War II relives the drama, heroism and horrors as they unfolded in Kent - a county in which many people were nearer to occupied Europe than they were to their own capital city. It is not just the story of fighting men and women, but also of ordinary people.
