LONDON. Sept. l- (Wednesday) -~(AP)~A large force of Ameflvfln heavy bombers battered the airport at Amlens-Glissy in France by daylight late Tuesday to round oft‘ a virtually unbroken 24- hour attack on cnemy airfield-S and industrial targets on the last day cf the fourth year of the War.

Axis radio stations began leav- ing the air during the mllht. usual indication of a niflhl 955mm by the R.A F‘.

In their concentrated attack. the heavy daylight bombers smashed ammunition dumps. racks and dispersal areas airport about 50 miles inland llurth west of Dieppe and one geat German fighter bases 0n the

continent. The total cost to the Allies was one heavy bomber. one medium

bomber and six lighters.

Canadian British and Allied Spitfires escorted and covered the bombers on these day attacks.

The night Rhineland assault cost 28 bombers, three of them Canadian. At least nine encmY fighters were shot down. The Ber- lin Radio's comments on the raid indicated an unusually heavy lot of explosives was dropped, causing widespread damage.

l-lalifaxes and Lancasters of the Canadian Bomber Group particip- ated in the assault and many 0f them said extremely heavy Ger- man fighter opposition was en- countered. Gunners of one squad- ron destroyed at least two enemy fighters and a Canadian gunner in a R. A F. Starling downed another

Delayed - Action Defence

The Germans used a delayed- action ground defence in the Rhineland atlack, the Air Ministry said. The Nazis held back until zhe first salvo of bombs had 80?"! down, and then they turned on their senrclillghts nnd poured out a heavy barrage.

Many combats iollowed as figh- ters attacked bombers silhouetted ‘against the sky.
