Summary
Planes of the US 8th Air Force behind German lines shooting up communications and transport. Rocket-firing Typhoons of the RAF shoot up targets near Brest Harbour. Heavy bombers from the RAF Bomber Command also send out a force of heavies to blast enemy communications and on turning for home leave a trail of ever-mounting-chaos behind enemy lines. A V1 falls foul of the RAF fighters over southern England and is shot out of the sky (taken from fighter automatic cameras).
