JAPANESE BURMA POUNDED
R.A.F. BOMBERS CAUSE DAMAGE London, Nov. 26. Our bombers continued to pound Japanese Burma in the last 24 hours. A communique from New Delhi says: “Fighter-escorted Blenheims yesterday morning attacked Myincyan railway station. Bombs burst on the main line and among station buildings. No Japanese fighters were encountered. Medium and heavy bombers last night attacked three airfields at Heho, Mingaladon and Meiktila. Bombs hit the targets with specially good results. At Heho and Mingaladon, on which the main attacks were delivered, night fighters came up and several combats occurred in which our bombers destroyed one and badly damaged others. Not one of our machines is missing from these operations.”—P.A.
