SUCCESSFUL AIR RAIDS
ROYAL AIR FORCE OPERATIONS ATTACKS BY ENEMY FIGHTERS REPULSED MILLIONS OF PROPAGANDA LEAFLETS DROPPED (Official Wireless) (Received Sept. 27, 11.0 a.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 26 The Ministry of Information announces that Royal Air Force units carried out a successful reconnaissance on the western front and North-west Germany during yesterday. Attacks by enemy fighters were driven off and our aircraft returned safely to their bases. Last night further reconnaissance flights were made over Germany, in the course of which leaflets were dropped. All our aircraft landed safely.
A Ministry of Information communique states that the Royal Air Force has dropped 18,000,000 pamphlets since the war and has covered thousands of miles of enemy territory, penetrating it to a considerable depth.
That most of the pamphlets fell in the right places shows the high degree of navigational skill in night flights. The pamphlets have given millions of Germans an opportunity of studying the Allies’ case.
