They are British-built and power- ed by Rolls-Royce Merlin engines. Mass formations of Blcnllcims and high-flying American-built Fortress planes struck at objec. 9X95 in Cologne. Fortresses also attacked Emden and an airdromc at De Kooy. Other bombers followed up the daylight attacks with a raid to- night on the shipyards at Le 'I‘ralt. France. An authoritative state. ment said a direct hit was regist- ered on a ship in a. slipway and that one German fighter was de- stroyed by escorting British fight- ers. To reach Cologne, hedge-hopping Blcnhcims often flew as low as 100 feet, the Air Ministry said. They were escorted across the channel by swarms of fighters. Other swarms, including the Wllirlwinds, met them over Ant- tvcrp on their way back. The power stations supplying Cologne, at Knapsack and Quad- rath, were attacked at 11:80 a.m., the Air Ministry said. Great num- bers of bombs were said to have been dropped at “point blank range," leaving the targets in flames. Authoritative sources disclosed that the raid; were the greatest ever undertaken in daylight from the standpoint of the number of fighter planes engaged, the depth of penetration into German terri. tory and the number and scope of the targets. The attack was made in favor- able conditions after a protracted period of bad weather. Observers said that the raids demonstrated growing confidence that large for. ‘motions of British bombers would be able to attack their objectives and get back without such trem- endous losses as the German; suf- fered inst year. i Popular pilot. lKilled in Plane crash l ; Capt.
