One pilot came across three bombers flying together. He picked on a Junkers 88 end saw it dive into the sea on fire. Another British night fighter pilot sent a stream of bullets into a Messerschmitt 110. a type of plane not usually seen at night. In his own works, it dived to earth like a fireworks explosion.
British bombers, too. were on the offensive in the struggle to maintain the nation's lifeline with North America. planes paid their second in two nights to Brest, where they attacked docks and shipping.
It is to this port that Germany sends so many of her submarines to prey on British shipping in the At-antic, and it is here also that the Scharnhorst snd Gneisenau. German battle cruisers, are sheltering.
Hits were observed on and near the warships.
The raid, reling to an Air Ministry communique. was carried out by strong forces of aircraft, and many heavy bombs were dropped. Docks en beth sides of the harbour were Lit. and large fires started.
