Summary
Description Unexploded Zeppelin bomb, 1916.jpg |
English:
On the night of 2nd-3rd April 1916, two German Navy Zeppelins, failing to find their intended target, Rosyth Dockyard, dropped 27 bombs on Leith and Edinburgh instead. This one failed to explode. East Fortune airfield was alerted when the first Zeppelin was spotted coming in over the Berwickshire coast and sent up one aeroplane to intercept. Owing to poor visibility, it failed to locate the intruders and crash landed on return.
