 Previous Levels

LONDON, Sept. 27. Fortresses, carrying the United States Air Forces in operations from Britain to a new months record, reached more than 200 miles across the North Sea early today and bombed Emden, the German shipbuilding center.

 The raid was the tenth this month by Fortresses and thus equalled the number of missions performed at the peak of July.
