Ice On Wings
Bad weather over the greater part of the operations area, with a fully overcast sky and a cloud layer which extended from 6,000 feet to 1,500 feet over the Dutch and Belgian coasts, severely hin- dered the raiders who had also to contend with ice forming con- ditions at low levels.
In addition to the big raid on Hamburg, other night bombing Jorces concentrating cn docks and harbours in Germany and enemy occupied territories raided Hamburg, Wilhelmshaven, Stettin, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Flushing and Ostend.
At Hamburg fires were started near shipbuilding yards and at. Antwerp sticks of high explosive bombs were seen to burst across a quay wall and along one side of the dock basin.
