AT A CLIMAX
ALLIED AIR ONSLAUGHT ON NAZIS IN NORTH FRANCE DEFENCES BLASTED AS NEVER BEFORE. REHEARSAL OF AMPHIBIOUS OPERATIONS. LONDON, September 9. A ten-day non-stop Allied air offensive across the English Channel came to its climax today, when Allied bombers and fighters gave the Germans in Northern France their biggest pounding of the war. Hour after hour, squadrons of planes swept across the Channel to attack airfields, coastal defences and other objectives in the Boulogne area, and other parts of Northern France. Never before have the Germans been blasted in daylight on such a scale. Full-scale amphibious operations were carried out in the Channel, the Admiralty reports, without opposition from the enemy. Formations of landing craft went far out to sea and moved in perfect order.
