THE FLENSBURG RAID
(Rec. 1.30 p.m.) RUGBY. Sept. 24. Many of our four-engined bombers attacking the submarine building yards at Flensburg last night went down to a few hundred feet and the crews are confident that the bombs hurst across the building yards whence, after a heavy explosion, clouds of black smoke came up. Many of the bombers flew back at almost roof height, and the gunners shot up searchlights and gunposts from as low as 50 feet. Other aircraft attacking objectives further east along the Baltic coast bombed from under 1000 feet. —Official Wireless.
