 | | During a raid on Thames Haven, on 24 August 1940, some German aircraft strayed over London and dropped bombs in the east and north-east of the city, Bethnal Green, Hackney, Islington, Tottenham and Finchley. |
 | | The consequent barrage was much more impressive, boosted civilian morale and though it had little effect on the raiders there was something of a deterrent effect, encourging crews to drop early, since the AA fire was visible to the bomber crews. |
 | | During this period, fourteen attacks were mounted on ports, nine on industrial targets inland and eight on London. |
