THOUSANDS OF TONS RAINED ON FRANCE
Paris and Germany To-day
[italics] Officially announced this afternoon that Flying Fortresses attacked airfields at Orby, Villacoublay, and Campaign, near Rheims, to-dark. They had a very strong fighter escort. [/italics]
[italics] "Evening News" [/italics] Air Correspondent
THE night and day air war on Europe is on again with full fury.
Hundreds of R.A.F. heavies in the night struck at four key rail towns in France, bomber fleets swept out again across the Straits to-day – and Achtungs warned Germany of bomber and fighter formations ranging across the Reich.
The R.A.F. night bombers in great strength struck four simultaneous blows at the French invasion railway system – Boulogne, Orleans, Tours and Le Mans – for the loss of seven planes, one of the smallest losses on record.
All the attacks were made by four-engined Lancasters and Halifaxes, and it is reckoned that the bomb-loads totalled thousands of tons, as the bombers would carry maximum weights on their comparatively short journeys.
Paris Hit To-day
After this night attack Paris radio reported that U.S. planes attacked the outskirts of Paris, south-west of the capital, this morning, doing great damage.
Thousands were left homeless by the R.A.F.'s violent night attacks, said the radio.
The R.A.F.s four main targets – marshalling yards, goods depots and railway junctions at Boulogne, Orleans, Tours, and Le Mans – are all vital points on the "spider's web" of railway communications covering Northern France generally
The targets were clearly identified and the bombing was well concentrated, says an R.A.F. communique. Military objectives on the coast of France were also bombed.
