158: The First Bomb Dropped On England
Send me a message
On Christmas Eve (24 December) 1914, Britain was bombed from the air for the first time.
A lone German plane flew over the port of Dover and one bomb was dropped towards Dover Castle.
It missed its target and landed in a civilian street.
This is the story of that historic moment in Britain's history, when the first bomb was dropped on the island and what happened next.
