ATTACKS ON SHIPPING
AND ON ENEMY RAILWAYS ! MADE BY BRITISH FIGHTERS. SMALL ENEMY VESSEL BLOWN UP. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 1.15 p.m.) RUGBY, May 5. Spitfires of a Canadian squadron of the Fighter Command attacked three small boats at anchor in a bay near Ushant this evening, the biggest boat, 100 feet long, being blown up. In a later attack on a small vessel, believed to be a U-boat tender, one of the Spitfires was hit, but landed safely at its base, with a hole 18 inches in diameter in its port wing.
Typhoons shot up trains and barges in the Dunkirk region earlier in the day. An official communique reports that one of our fighters is missing.
