On Christmas Eve (24 December) 1914, Britain was bombed from the air for the first time.
A lone German plane flew over the port of Dover and one bomb was dropped towards Dover Castle.
It missed its target and landed in a civilian street.

This is the story of that historic moment in Britain's history, when the first bomb was dropped on the island and what happened next.

Chris Green is The History Chap, telling stories that bring history to life.


Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, has often be called the best King England (or Britain) never had.

But who was Prince Albert and exactly what role did he play in British history?

I recently told the story about how Prince Albert helped to prevent a war between the USA and Britain in the 1860’s.

Loads of you got in touch asking me to tell a little bit more about him.

So here is a brief overview of Prince Albert, his life, impact on Britain, and his legacy.

48 hours after the Japanese launched their surprise attack on Pearl Harbour their aircraft delivered an equally devastating blow to the Royal Navy.

On the 10th December 1941, the warships HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse were sunk by torpedoes launched by Japanese aircraft.

It was the first time that warships defending themselves & sailing in open water had been sunk solely by an air attack.

It would change naval warfare forever.
