came to Britain but therewere still air rades form German planes.
There planes targetedthe bigger city and factorises. In WW1 gas was

lukeley brighten didnt get gases at all.
8. Air rades There were a set of sceems to stop the inpack of
the bombs and to try to confusethe planes the most famose methord
to stop the impackt of the air raids is toblack out the windows and
all of the lights to try and stop the impact there wasalso a wadens
that cheked that there was no light coming out. The over way to
protecket from the bomers was to youes anti-air guns but the
firstones that were youed we not very acret and evrey 30,000 shells
fored thay got 1plane but they cepetr them because it made the
people feel safer The anti air guns did improve exspchely when
threy were connected to radar theguns were sometimes place on navel
forts that were structurs placed in the sea. The other wna was to
put blimps up in the sky at night so the planes crash in tothem and
the blims were fild with hidrogen that isa flambal gas so whne the
