I was brought up in a semi-detached house close to Heston Airport which was a target for the Lufwaffe. We were evacuated to near Birmingham and an incendiary bomb fell through my bedroom ceiling but did not ignite. As a check I grew for about ten years or so looking at the large patch in ceiling where the bomb had crashed through.
