One of the Fighter Command Mosquitoes which last night flew deep into enemy and occupied territory in search of railway and road targets, patrolled Holland for two and a half hours with 300 feet of copper cable wrapped around a wing and the fuselage as a result of a crash into some wireless station cables. All the British aircraft engaged in this extended night offensive, in the course of which heavy damage was done to enemy communications, returned safely.
