Summary

Workers in British factories engaged in producing "even bigger and more deadly bombs". TNT carried from mixing chamber to bomb casings. Workers handling 2,000 lb bombs. The bombs are loaded into Stirlings, Halifaxes, Lancasters and Manchesters which set off in the dark. Aerial views of the night bombing of the city, which is lit up as bright as day by flares dropped by the bombers. Aerial views of the bombing of the main railway stations. The commentary which accompanies this film is very bitter and the keynote is vengeance.
