RAIDS IN ENGLAND
RUGBY. July 6. It is officially stated that “this evening two enemy fighters flew over the district of East Anglia for a short time. At one place a small number of peonle were injured by machinegun fire.” _ (Rec. 9.50.) LONDON, July 7. The “Daily Express” has drawn attention to the fact that no bombs had been dropped in Britain for a fortnight. It said:—This was a complete lull, one of the longest since the great air war really stated on Mav 9. 1940. It is plain that the Germans cannot, at this moment, spare a single man or plane. The enemv .’.s known to have a fair sized bomber force on his airfields facing Britain. Of that force onlv a small proportion has been withdrawn to bolster . depleted Axis forces in the Mediterranean and in Russia. These planes could deliver a nastv attack on us with little warning. But their losses would be considerable, defences here are stronger and in bet ter trim than ever before.
