BRITISH HEAVY BOMBERS ATTACK ENEMY NAVAL BASES
Series of Concentrated Assaults LIMITED ENEMY ACTIVITY OVER BRITAIN ? FOUR RAIDERS DESTROYED YESTERDAY On Monday night British heavy bombers made concentrated attacks on Heligoland, Kiel and Wilhelmshaven, the 8.8. C. reports. Other targets attacked included the docks at Hamburg' and a number of enemy aerodromes and other bases. Only a few enemy raiders were over Britain yesterday. Two bombers and two fighter-bombers were destroyed without any loss of British planes. Air Marshal Sir Philip Joubert has pointed out that the number of bombers employed by the Germans in their attack on Coventry last week was smaller than might have been expected and that in spite of ideal weather their bomb aiming was not very accurate. At Coventry and in their attacks on other towns the Germans failed to achieve decisive results.
