Product Description

Synopsis
Martin Easdown's compelling account of the German air raid on Folkestone in 1917 and its appalling aftermath is the first comprehensive history of an episode to be published. He gives a dramatic description of the event, relying heavily on the eyewitness testimony from the townspeople who were there on that fateful day. He records the experiences of the German airmen who carried out the raid and pioneered a new and terrifying method of warfare. In addition, he recounts in graphic detail similar attacks by bombers, seaplanes and Zepplins on other Kentish towns, including Dover, Ramsgate, Margate and Sheerness.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Glint in The Sky reviewed, 29 Aug 2004

By A Customer

This excellent book is a must for all those interested in military history and in particular the Gotha bombing raids.
Martin Easdown has carried out extensive research to give a very full and factual account of events.
Thomas Genth whose ancestors were involved in the raids,has contributed photographs,written accounts and information that give a good insight into the German side of things and this further increases the interest of the book.
The accounts of the bombing raids are very moving and Martin has dramatically conveyed the suffering that was caused,particularly in the Folkestone raids.
There are many photographs and postcard illustrations including a number of the gravestones of those who were killed by the bombs in Folkestone.
The book will appeal to those who live in the areas affected by the raids,and to historians who will find it a reference book of great depth.
Highly recommended as an enthralling,moving and memorable read.
I am sure you will not be disappointed.
