Re: Zeppelin raid 30 April/1 May 1915
Brian,
The book Zeppelin shows this was the first raid by an Army airship, LZ38 was based at Brussels-Evere came in over the coast by Felixstowe, flew over Ipswich to Bury St. Edmunds where it dropped 40 IB's and 3 HE's whish destroyed four houses. In all LZ38 dropped 66 IB's and 10 HE's destroying a total of 6 houses but causing no casualties. It was LZ38 who dropped the 'Kill or Cure' note over Canvey Island on the 10/11th May raid.
Another book is 'Fire Over England' ISBN 0-436-08900-9 published by Leo Cooper in 1982,
All the Best
Brian
