Summary

This film records the story of our air offensive against the Nazis, after the RAF had successfully warded off the Luftwaffe's all-out attack on England, in the Battle of Britian. The first low-level Allied bombing of an important enemy-target - the raid of Ploesti, in August, 1943- is pictured in this installment. Round-the-clock bombing with RAF oprerating at night and AAF in the daytime.
