An Air Ministry communique states: “During the last 24 hours, medium and heavy bombers of the R.A.F. have again been active in attacks on the enemy's lines of communication immediately behind the fighting front. Armoured fighting vehicles, mechanised transport columns and troop concentrations were also heavily bombed in the Abbeville, Amiens, Beauvais and Rouen areas. River crossings on the Somme, Aisne and Meuse were repeatedly attacked during the night. Serious damage was caused to the enemy’s ammunition dumps and supplies when large tracts of the Ardennes forests, between Charleville and Fumay, were set on fire. Other formations of heavy bombers attacked a large number of military objectives in Rhennish Prussia and the Ruhr. Four of our aircraft are missing.
