MANY BIG BOMBS
DROPPED ON LORIENT
STRONG OPPOSITION.
BUT PILOT FINDS TRIP “QUIET AND EASY.”
(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, January 27.
The attack on Lorient was concentrated into one hour, says the Air Ministry news service. The defences seemed to have been strengthened since bombrs were last over the port, and there was sharp opposition at the beginning of the raid. Later arrivals eported that flak did not worry them very much, and a pilot making his first operational sortie said he hoped every trip would be “as quiet and easy as this one.” A great number of incendiaries and high explosives, including many 4,000 pounders, were dropped.
