NO VISIBILITY
SHOCKING FLYING CONDITIONS MEDIUM BOMBERS UNABLE TO OPERATE (Rec. 10 a.m.) LONDON, July 11. Bad weather over Normandy yesterday cut down air operations to one of the lowest levels since D-Day, and this morning flying conditions were even worse, says IReuter's correspondent at Khaef. The clouds were so thick that there was no visibility at all, and clouds were hanging over the battle zone at a height of only 1,000 feet and at places even lower. Medium bombers could not get off the ground yesterday. Support for the ground forces .was confined to fighter-bombers. Despite the bad weather, fft.A.F., New Zealand, and Australian squadrons of Mosquities of the Second Tactical Air Force hit road and rail transport in France last night from Paris to Amiens, Lille, Saint Quentin, and Compeigne.
