Towards the end of World War II Germany unleashed its weapons of vengeance on the British population - the V-1 flying bomb (a pilotless aircraft) and the V-2 rocket (the precursor of the ballistic missile). In V-Bombs and Weathermaps Brock McElheran remembers his own experience of being under attack by these frightening weapons and pays tribute to the brave civilians in southern England who endured the assaults. He shows that the German attack on the British population was as much a battle as any of the more familiar campaigns on the continent.
