AIR MINISTRY REPORT

Some Enemy Aircraft Destroyed The Air Ministry states: “Last night very large forces of our aircraft, drawn from all the Home Operational Commands of the R.A.F., were in operation. The bombing force consisted of more than one thousand aircraft and the main objective was Bremen, the enemy’s second largest port and one of the principal centres of submarine production. Large fires were seen, but considerable heavy cloud made the accurate observation of results difficult. “To disorganise the enemy’s defence, many airfields m the Low Countries were subjected to intensive harassing attacks by a second force of bombers and fighters, In the course of these intruder operations, and in many combats which took place between our bombers and enemy fighters, some enemy aircraft were destroyed or damaged. “From the night’s operations, a total of 52 aircraft of all commands are missing.”
