Heavy bombers from Britain and Africa have
made a double attack on viaducts at the Riviera.
Yesterday and last night the coastal railway
from France to Italy was bombed by our
N.W. African aircraft west of Cannes and
by planes based in this country on Cannes.
A ball bearing plant near Geneva in France
was also attacked.
Our Mosquitoes were over Germany
including Berlin, Hannover and the
Ruhr. 7 of our bombers are missing
from the night's work.
The weather in Italy is bad. On the 8th Army
front our troops are consolidating their
positions. The 5th Army made small
advances. One of our correspondents with
the 8th Army gives some impressions
and details about Basto and San Salvo
which places we have captured.
Road and road junctions in and
nearby these places suffered most.
Our fighters and fighter bombers were
active over the battle area.
3 enemy planes were destroyed
and 4 of ours are missing.
Allied fighters from the Middle East
