YouTube Video Description↓
By the end of the First World War the RAF had bombers that could fly to Berlin and back. For the first time in a thousand years British civilians found themselves under direct attack - by Zeppelin airships and Gotha bombers. The experience left an indelible impression on the public psyche, which was only exacerbated during the Blitz that began in the winter of 1940. The RAF's maritime role is often overlooked. Between the wars the RAF operated elegant flying boats to patrol the far flung corners of the Empire. During the Second World War, air sea rescue of downed pilots and air crews was a vital role. Large flying boats like the Short Sunderland and PBY Catalina flew long missions far out over the oceans, looking for enemy submarines. --- Subscribe to Spark for more amazing science, tech & engineering videos: https://goo.gl/LIrlur 🚀 Join the Spark Channel Membership to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMV3aTOwUtG5vwfH9_rzb2w/join Find us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SparkDocs/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spark_channel/ Any queries, please contact us at: owned-enquiries@littledotstudios.com #Spark
