The Flying Bomb - The Defence of ANTWERP and BRUSSELS

SECTION XIX - Fall of Shot.

159. The distribution of DIVER on the ground for each month is shown in Diagrams Y1 to Y6. Positions of Category A and B claims are marked, and also of those which descended without assistance.

 

SECTION XX - Scale of attack.

160. The daily scale of attack is shown as a graph in Diagrams Z1 AND Z2. The totals include all DIVER which came within range or sound of the forward line of A.A. observers. The latter were not less than 7,000 yards in front of the forward gun belts and covered both ANTWERP and BRUSSELS.

The scale shown refers, therefore, only to the area ANTWERP / BRUSSELS and does not include bombs directed at e.g. LIEGE.
