HAVOC IN NAPLES
AIR ATTACKS ON HARBOUR & RAILWAYS SUSTAINED OFFENSIVE IN LIBYA. ANOTHER ONSLAUGHT ON BENGHAZI. LONDON. July 22. It is now disclosed that in the Ii.A.F. raid on Naples on Sunday night—the third this month and the thirteenth since Italy entered the war — the harbour and railway sidings were the main targets. Large fires in the harbour area grew in size and intensity as machine after machine added its quota of bombs. Another attack has been made on the harbour at Benghazi. All the British planes returned. Night after night long-range bombers drop more and more tons of bigger and bigger bombs on objectives in Benghazi and the Italians have been forced to bring supplies nearly a thousand miles further from Tripoli. The morale of the German airmen left in Libya is said to be suffering under the constant strain of these difficult- conditions.
