It was one of the most extensive sweeps of the M ar. The synthetic oil plant between Lcnz and Bethune in France was attacked in daylight today and seven Nazi planes were downed. The R.A.F. lost six planes in the attacks over France but the pilots of two were saved. During the night British planes dropped heavy explosives on Frankfort, Dusseldorf, Duisburg, MuensterKrcfeld, Cologne, Muenchen-Gladgath, Ostcn, Dunkerque and Boulogne. Nine planes were lost. The throb of hundreds of British planes shuttling across the Channel today was like the roar of a dynamo running twenty-four hours a day. The observers at a southeast coast town said (he sound of the explosions begun at the Channel coast were growing fainter and apparently the R.A.F. bombers were moving farther inland to unload. convenor.
