NEXT CHANGE “ZORRO RIDES AGAIN!!

THE R.A.F., RAID ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON NORTHERN ITALY, WHICH WAS BY FAR THE MOST POWERFUL YET MADE IN THAT REGION, WAS LED BY BRITAIN'S BIGGEST BOMBERS, FOUR-ENGINED STIRLINGS. FOUR-ENGINED HALIFAXES FOLLOW- ED LATER, AS WELL AS TWIN-ENGINED BOMBERS.

It was also the first time that Britain's

heaviest bombers had made the journey of NEW DUTCH

1,200 miles there and back with a double

crossing of the Alps, which they took in their

stride.

Describing the attack, one Stirling pilot said: "As we went down through France it was as quiet as the grave. One or two search- lights poked into the clouds but soon gave up.

"Most of the time dyring the crossing of the Alps we flew ut over 20 000 feet. We were about the third bomber to come down to Turin and already there were three large blocks of fire in a row, "Wo dropped a stick of bombs. After we had bombed

Many contributions from places outside Batavia have not yet been reported by all the local commit-

As the N.E.I. Government pays 50 per cent of the total contribu- tions, with a maximum of 1,700,- 000 guilders so far, 20 days after the move started, two of the need- ed five million guilders are al- ready available for the destroyer.

"One solitary gun in the foothills on the Italian side of the Alps took a pop at us. It just fired once for luck.

"We came home very nicely.” A Wellington pilot came down to 2,000 feet to drop his bombs, planting them in five large fires in Turin with other smaller ones

around them.

"Bulging And Billowing'

Another crew counted 34 fires and their bombs were seen to burst on a large factory building. Another factory building was outlined in the flames. There were enormous explosions in the heart of the fire and "things seemed to burst out of the fire and explode at a height from 2,000 to 6,000 feet."

Other crews described how they saw fires "bulging and billowing" and made out the gaunt frame- work of gutted buildings.--Reuter.
