Croydon was hit by the most V1 doodlebug pilotless flying buzz bombs as they dropped from the sky running out of fuel on their way to targets in London.
"Doodlebug" was one nickname for the German V-1 bomb, more often called a "Buzz Bomb". There were primitive cruise missiles that flew until they ran out of fuel, then crashed and exploded on whatever was below. Precise aiming was impossible, but they could hit a target as large as London.
The Doodlebug was a guided missile that was a winged planform type- or as we now would say, a cruise missile. when underway it had a buzzing sound from the resonant pulse-jet engine that was designed for this weapons system. when over the target- an automatic device cut off the motor by slicing the fuel lines- then a deathly silence- not quite a whistling noise as the nose fuse did its work to arm the bomb- and then the big explosion. The term Buzz Bomb refers to the motive power sound, not the explosion sound. They were nose-fused a small two-bladed prop used slipstream energy to arm the fuses- and was only activated when the propulsion system was cut off- again to prevent accidental pre-detonations- always a hazard with bombs and bombers.
The average range is 220.
