BRITISH OFFENSIVE
DEVELOPED ON GREAT SCALE ALONG 700 MILE FRONT. FIRST ATTACK ON MUNICH BY HEAVY BOMBERS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, September 2. While R.A.F. fighters are daily rebuffing German raiders in English skies, R.A.F. bombers are nightly assailing the enemy’s military and industrial bases over an ever-increasing range on the Continent. Last night the left flank of a wide l flung aerial offensive rested on Nordenham and Emden, while the right flank was over the plains of Lombary, northern Italy. An Air Ministry bulletin declares that R.A.F. bombers methodically bombed selected targets on this 700mile front. Munich was raided for the first time since the outbreak of the war when a force of heavy bombers attacked, the aero engine works of the Bayerische Motorenwerke Company. Italian aircraft works at Milan and Turin were again bombed.
