By comparison with other German cities , preparations for bombing raids were less effective and flak defences had been depleted to provide defence for other cities . Minor raids . On the night of 23 / 24 September 1943 Darmstadt was bombed by 21 Avro Lancaster s and 8 De Havilland Mosquito s of No . 8 Group RAF . Although it was a diversionary raid to draw night fighters away from for the main raid on Mannheim with 628 aircraft , the small force of bombers caused extensive damage in the university town that had little industry and which had not been seriously bombed before . On the night of 24 / 25 April 1944 , some RAF planes bombed Darmstadt and other towns when , due to low cloud , they failed to find the main target of the night which was Karlsruhe . An attack on the night of 25 / 26 August 1944 by No . 5 Group RAF was a failure . The Master Bomber had to return to base and his deputies were shot down en route . The pathfinder " Illuminating Force " flares were dropped too far to the west . As a result , most of the Main Force did not bomb at all , with a number diverting to bomb Russelsheim instead . 95 buildings were hit in Darmstadt and 8 people were killed by the scattered bombs which did hit the town .

The raid was to incorporate a new technique where , instead of bombers flying along a single path across the target , the bombers would bomb along a fan of paths over the city . The intention was to deliberately spread the bombload . The attack started a fierce fire in the centre and in the districts immediately to the south and east . The destruction of dwellings in this area was almost complete . The raid killed an estimated 12 , 300 inhabitants and rendered 66 , 000 homeless out of a total of 110 , 000 inhabitants .

Gloster Sparrowhawk The Gloster Sparrowhawk was a British single seat fighter aircraft of the early 1920s . A development by Gloster Aircraft Company of the earlier Nieuport Nighthawk fighter , 50 aircraft were built by Gloster for the Imperial Japanese Navy , with a further 40 being assembled in Japan , being operated from 1921 to 1928 . Development and design . When the British aircraft manufacturer Nieuport & General closed down in 1920 , the services of its chief designer , Henry Folland were hired by the Gloster Aircraft Company , who also acquired the rights for Nieuport ' s Nighthawk fighter , a promising design that had been ruined by the use of the unreliable ABC Dragonfly radial engine . Folland used the Nighthawk as the basis for a series of development known as the Gloster Mars series , with both air racer and fighters being produced . When , in 1921 , Britain sent the Sempill Mission to Japan to allow the Japanese to develop a Naval Air Arm , Gloster was able to meet the requirements of the Imperial Japanese Navy for a single seat fighter by a modification of the Nighthawk . The resulting Sparrowhawk was made from existing stocks of stored Nighthawk components , but replacing the Dragonfly with the Bentley BR2 rotary engine , allowing Japan ' s order for 50 Gloster built aircraft and a further 40 in component form for manufacture at the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal to be quickly met . Of the 50 Gloster built Sparrowhawks , 30 were Sparrowhawk I land based fighters , 10 Sparrowhawk II twin seat advanced trainers and the remaining 10 completed as Sparrowhawk III shipboard fighters . The Sparrowhawk IIIs , which were similar to the 22 Gloster Nightjar carrier fighters produced to operate from the Royal Navy ' s aircraft carrier s , were fitted with appropriate flotation equipment and arrestor gear . The 40 Yokosuka assembled aircraft were completed as Sparrowhawk Is . A single additional Sparrowhawk II was built by Glosters as a civil demonstrator . This aircraft , registered " G - EAYN " flew in the 1922 Aerial Derby around London , and was later converted to form the prototype Gloster Grouse . Operational history . The Sparrowhawk entered service with the Japanese Navy in 1921 , with the 10 Sparrowhawk IIIs being used for flight training operations from ramps built on one of the gun turrets of the Battleship " Yamashiro " , as the carrier " Hōshō " was not yet ready . Although used for training from the " Yamashiro " , the Sparrowhawks were never operated from the " Hōshō " , with it being replaced for shipboard operations by the purpose designed Mitsubishi 1MF fighter before " Hōshō " entered service . The Sparrowhawk continued in service from shore bases until 1928 , when it was retired from use as a trainer .
