A
Flying bomb incident, showing damaged houses
and air raid shelters in the foreground, 24
June 1944.
Although V1 flying bombs were intended
for Central London, a British govern-ment disinformation
campaign led to most of them falling in South
London, well short of their targets.
A total
of 95 V1s fell in Lambeth killing 250 people
and severely injuring a further 709.
