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.
