Squadrons of bombers at midday attacked Rouen aerodrome STOP
and scattered more than 400 incendiary bombs over the whole target area. A salvo of high explosive bombs falling among four twin-engined aircraft set two of them on fire and doubtless severely damaged others. Twin-engined aircraft dispersed round the edge of the aero- drome were also hit and other bombs fell directly on hangars which the enemy was speedily completing.

The enemy-occupled aerodrome at Haamstede, on the Dutch Island of Schouven, was bombed despite op- position by heavy batteries in a nearby village.
A formation of heavy bombers at midnight attacked the aerodrome at Paderborn, between Cassel and Mun- ster, and dropped nearly 200 incen- diaries besides high explosives on han- gars and sheds housing aircraft and equipment. Several direct hits on han- gars were followed by explosions and fires
