RAF RAIDS GIVEN NEW “PUNCH”
By WING.COMMANDER CHARLES BRAY.
“Daily Herald” Air Correspondent
A HIGHLY significant and important development of our bombing policy is taking place.
Instead of concentrating on German industrial cities we are now striking at individual factories in such strength as to make a second visit unnecessary.
Peenemunde was a case in point. It was followed on Sunday night by a heavy attack – probably something in the region of 500 aircraft – on the big chemical works at Leverkusen, near Cologne.
[symbol]
This factory has not had a concentrated raid before, and it was unfortunate that weather conditions were far from favourable for this serious attempt to wipe out the works.
Even so, it is estimated that immense damage was done by the mass precision bombing which is our new policy.
There were a few gaps in the clouds which enabled our bombers to see their target and release their bombs. The clouds also provided admirable cover, probably the reason for the exceptionally low losses of five aircraft on a major raid over one of the heaviest defended localities of Germany.
Plenty of night fighters were encountered, two of them being destroyed in the numerous combats that ensued.
[symbol]
It is very satisfactory that the strength of our bomber force is such that we can now turn to individual factories or other military targets instead of concentrating on large towns.
The size of the force depends on the target selected, but it will be noted that in every case sufficient bombers are sent to do the maximum amount of damage.
The Leverkusen factory had before the war the biggest electric sign in the world. Two 400ft. chimneys of the German Dye Trust works, nearly 200ft. apart supported a massive metallic circle containing the name in 40 feet letters of the Dye Trust founder, Dr. Bayer, spelt vertically and horizontally to form a cross.
Dr Ley, Germany’s labour chief and bitter enemy of Great Britain, was formerly an employee in this factory.

[underlined] Particulars of meritorious service for which recommendation is made: [/underlined]
P/O Perry as Captain of aircraft has completed 20 successful operational sorties, against some of the most heavily defended targets including Berlin twice.
He has shown outstanding determination and skill in pressing home his attacks which has been proved by him obtaining aiming point photographs.
On one occasion when detailed to attack Nuremburg, his aircraft was attacked by a fighter. His skillful [sic] airmanship enabled his gunner to engage and shoot it down. On two other occasions he showed outstanding airmanship when he had to bring his aircraft safely to base on three engines, and on one of these occasions part of the trip was carried out on only two engines.
I consider the skill, courage and determination shown by P/O Perry throughout his operational tour fully merit the award of the D.F.C.
