AIR WARFARE OVER BRITAIN & GERMANY R.A.F. PLANES ATTACK BERLIN. CENTRE OF CITY REACHED. (Bi’ Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright i LONDON, September 5. The air war was waged over the greater part of both England and Germany last night. For hours on end the sky was alight with flares, anti-aircraft fire and myriad searchlights aimed at halting the bombing squadrons which processioned backward and forward throughout the night from both sides of the Channel.
The German news agency, in a statement concerning last nights raids on Berlin said that "numerous British planes again attempted to penetrate the belt of the city’s anti-aircraft defences but only isolated planes succeeded in reaching the centre of the capital.” The German radio stations began the day’s programmes with statements that the British dropped high-explosives and incendiary bombs in several parts of the Reich during the night. Most of the bombs, they claimed, fell in open fields.
