NO NIGHT RAIDS
LUFTWAFFE STAYS AT BASES i SKIES OVER BRITAIN CLEAR OF ENEMY FIRST TIME IN THREE MONTHS [U.P.A.-By Electric 'l'elegraph-Copyright] LONDON, Bth December. Last night, for the first time in three months, not a single enemy plane crossed the coast of Britain. The sudden cessation of night bombing of Britain followed a 24hour period in which the German raids were light and sporadic. There were a few raiders over London early this evening and these were greeted with a heavy anti-aircraft barrage. The day itself has been quiet and an Air Ministry and Ministry of Home Security communique issued this afternoon states: “One enemy fighter-bomber was shot down in the Channel early this afternoon otherwise there is nothing to report.’’
