one of the British airmen returned
safely to the ships which conveyed

surprise visit to Nancy; French avi-
ators to Metz; British to Brussels and
other Belgian towns occupied by the
Germans, and German airmen to Pol
lsh cities.

men of the damage done differ from
those of the occupants of the terri
tory attacked. While bombs were
dropped during these flights, most of
the flights were made for the purpose
