Is this where the RAF got the first idea of starting firestorms? Or was that an older idea?
I swear to god that that I saw a book in Page One a while back about the German raids during WW1 and the experiments they carried out making various incendiary devices eventually developing the thermite / magnesium firebomb - that was the same type later used by the British during WW2.

- And even in WW1 the Germans were trying to create fires during their bombing attacks.
