Doodle Bug Defense at Night

"Enclosed is a snap shot taken while anti-aircraft guns were firing on one of Hitler's Doodle Bugs as it flew over the field one night - not so good, but look close and you can see the spot lights meeting at a point in the sky with tracers, etc. bursting around them."

Doodle Bug was a British nickname for the V-1 flying bomb, the first cruise missile, which was first launched against England shortly after D-day. High Halden was almost directly on the flight path from the Continent to London, and witnessed the frequent attacks.
