Romania. Last night targets south of Bucharest
were also bombed. After attacking targets in
Romania our planes have flown to Russian
prepared bases. The Red Air Force protected
our bombers and only one bomber
and a fighter were lost. The Russians themselves
lack in strategic air force so that
now a shuttle service operates from
Italy to Russia and back and Russian
bases are available to US airplanes.
Last night Bomber Command planes
were in strength over France where military
installations on the coast were bombed as
well a a railway yard near Paris.
17 of our bombers are missing as well as
2 Intruders who attacked German fighters
over France and it is known that 7 enemy
planes were shot down. Chemical works
at Leverkusen were also bombed as well as
mines laid. Allied aircraft were again
going out across the Channel this morning.
Reports from Algiers says that the French
committee had changed its name into
Provisional Government of the French
Republic but from America is is stated
that the USA attitude remains unchanged.
