(By ASSOCIATED PRESS) | Terrific air battles raged again | today over the British Isles as| massed squadrons of German planes, | flashing across the English Channel | on a 30-mile front, attacked Eng- | land’s “Hell Corner,” the port of | Dover, gateway to a possible Nazi | invasion, and bombed the streets of | Folkestone and other coastal towns, | strafing civilians with machine guns | from low descending fighting planes. British Spitfires and Hurricane fighting planes roared up to meet | the intensified onslaught. At least 10 German raiders were shot down | in the first 15 minutes of the morn- | ing raid today. | On to Berlin Royal Air Force planes, displaying a rising aerial might, thundered over Berlin in two three-hour raids before dawn today, \while Nazi war planes dumped high explosives, in- cendiary and “shriel.” bombs in the London area for the fifth time in| Berlin reports that 1500 bombs, totaling 300,000 pounds, were dumped on 38 objectives in the British Isles during last night. ‘The British report says “small fires were started and property damage was also small,” as the re- sult of the raid on London. Retaliation Demanded There is growing clamor among Britons for retaliatory raids on Ber- lin and other thickly populated Ger- man land because of the “strafing” | of the British Isles. The RAF spokesman declared that today’s ate tack on the German capital city by no means signalled a start of tervor assaults on German civilians, Scenes of Horror Scenes of horror are reported from a southeast town in England this afternoon as Nazi planes spread death and destruction in a 20-min- ute raid during the shopping rush hours, spewing bombs on crowded streets. One laundry, filled with girls, suffered a direct hit and at least one girl was killed. Royal Air Force fighters, racing to the attack, are reported to have shot down at least two raiders and four others were shot down attemp- ing to cross the channel, TERRIFIC BOMBING SUNDAY LONDON, Aug. 26.—Two air raid alarms were sounded within an hour last night as further raids, a con- tinuance of the terrific bombing ot last Saturday, continued. Anti-dircraft guns belched forth on the outskirts of the city and are reported to have driven the in- vaders off. Saturday Night Fires Saturday night several fires were started in Lortlon’s west end, caused by incendiary bombs dropped by Nazi raiders, but, the fires were soon extinguished. The flames il- luminated the skies for miles. Several fires were started in al« most the heart of the British Em- pire as the result of furious and prolonged bombardment and many sections of the Midlands are smok= ing ruins with scores of casualties, The port of Portsmouth was heavily bombed last Saturday night and numerous fires were started on the docks and harbor buildings. ————— rry a classified ad 1n The Empire.
