LONDON,
June
26:
The
great
German
port
of
Bremen
was
heavily
raided
by
the
Royal
Alr
Force
last
night
in
a
resumption
of
large
scale
aerial
warfare.
Over
one
thousand
British
planes
blasted
at
the
port
and
the
proportion
of
the
attack
may
be
Judged
by
the
fact
that
fifty-two
planes
were
shot
down.
The
attack
wa
the
iargest
since
Cologne
and
Essen
and
great
damage
was
done.
Later
reports
today
confirmed
earlier-
indications
that
the
British
bombers
had
been
over
Germany
in
force
and
on
a
devastating
scale.
Great
fires
were
set,
it
was
revealed
today,
In
Bremen
which
was
the
principal
target
of
the
devastating
assault
which
it
Is
now
said
was
probably
the
largest
in
the
history
of
aerial
warfare.
Indications
were
that
the
number
of
planes
participating
exceeded
the
flight
of
1,130
which
laid
Cologne
in
ruins
on
May
30.
In
addition
to
the
bomber
force
of
more
than
one
thousand
machines
which
attacked
Bremen,
the
Air
Ministry
reported
hundreds
of
other
planes
attacked
air
fields
in
the
Low
Countries.
While
the
fifty-two
planes
missinr
ronttitut
the
ti!rhrt
one
night
loss
ever
experienced
by
the
Royal
Air
Force,
informed
sources
said
it
was
less
than
five
percent
of
those
involved.
In
spite
of
heavy
anti-aircraft
defences,
two
Canadian
bomber
squadrons
returned
without
a
single
scar
on
the
aircraft
while
a
Canadian
intruder
squadron,
flying
speedy
Bostons,
reported
"no
incident."
