World war one map, 1914 - 1918, illustrating, with approximate accuracy, where the bombs fell in the many air raids on London during the war. It is based upon official information, with-held until after the cessation of hostilities, and upon supplementary data specifically supplied by the Fire Brigades of the London area. Each dot on the map indicates where a bomb fell.
