Today in 1944, a German V1 flying bomb falls on London, striking the Aldwych. Dozens of people are killed. Smoke rises over the Royal Courts of Justice and the church of St Dunstan's, as seen from Fleet Street. Pedestrians hurry across the street, while others calmly alight from a bus #OTD #SWW #WW2
