Although the Blitz has come to symbolize the experience of
civilians under attack, Germany first launched air raids on Britain
at the end of 1914 and continued them during the First World War.
With the advent of air warfare, civilians far removed from
traditional battle zones became a direct target of war rather than
a group shielded from its impact. This is a study of how British
civilians experienced and came to terms with aerial warfare during
the First and Second World Wars. Memories of the World War I
bombings shaped British responses to the various real and imagined
war threats of the 1920s and 1930s, including the bombing of
civilians during the Spanish Civil War and, ultimately, the Blitz
itself. The processes by which different constituent bodies of the
British nation responded to the arrival of air power reveal the
particular role that gender played in defining civilian
participation in modern war.
