I remember the ‘Doodlebugs’ or V1 rockets. These were pilotless flying bombs that made a droning sound, so you could always tell when one was approaching. The time to watch out was then the engine cut out, with the people underneath praying it was going to miss them.

This story was submitted to the People’s War site by Anastasia Travers a volunteer with WM CSV Actiondesk on behalf of Brian Hopper and has been added to the site with his permission. Brian Hopper fully understands the sites terms and conditions.
