FOUR-PRONGED BLOW
HUGE FORCE OF ALLIED PLANES IN GREAT AIR OFFENSIVE. TARGETS 800 MILES APART ATTACKED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) LONDON, January 5. Huge forces of bombers and fighters swept out from Britain today, striking a four-pronged blow reaching across Europe from the west coast of France for the sixth successive day, while R.A.F. fight-er-bombers, without loss, attacked military objectives in France. American bombers in great strength blasted Kiel, Germany’s No. 1 Übcat construction centre, for the second successive day, when the great shipyards were still belching smoke from the previous attack. The targets bombed in Western Germany today are still unnamed. In France, bombers attacked the great airfields at Tours, from which German long-range planes take off to harry our Atlantic convoys, also Bordeaux, where the Germans use another airfield for shipping reconnaissance planes.
