Most of the air raids or air attacks by the Germans (& Italians) bombers & fighters on Great Britain itself occurred during the (Air) Battle of Britain July 1940-September 1940. During this time the air attacks would often been a daily affair. Air attacks declined, but were common until July 1941. After July 1941 air attacks were much less frequent, even rare. However starting in June 1944 the unmanned V-1 rocket (similar to modern cruise missile) was launched across the English Channel at England by the Germans. The V-1 carried explosives, and most were directed at London. V-1's could often be detected before they hit, so Air Raid warnings were issued. Many were launched each day. Then in September 1944 through March 1945, the Germans launched the V-2 rocket filled with explosives. Many of these were targeted on England. These hit without warning, because they could rarely be detected by the technology of the time. Many were launched each day. The V-2 was a ballistic missile. Specifics can be found on various websites.
