HEAVY DAMAGE
DONE TO NAZI AIRFIELDS IN FRANCE DIRECT HITS ON BUILDINGS. SYSTEMATIC BLITZ AGAINST • LUFTWAFFE. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) RUGBY, August 16. Photographs taken during yesterday’s bombing of Nazi fighter aerodromes in France by Flying Fortresses show heavy damage to the targets. At one aerodrome the concentration of bombs was so heavy that the aerodrome has been rendered practically useless. Direct hits were also scored on hangars, barracks and administration buildings, while the main dispersal area was completely covered with bombs. These attacks on German fighter aerodromes are in line with the systematic aerial blitz against the Luftwaffe which has been in progress for several weeks.
