RAF on the Offensive
Page 2 of 5
Frame 2: The Blitz
After the Battle of Brittan the air war over England moved into the
Blitz which lasted from September through May of 1941 with
almost nightly raids into eastern England. Fifteen British cities
were subjected to major bombing attacks.
Liverpool, Bristol, Southampton, Portsmouth, Plymouth, London.
The roll of British ports bombed last week sounded more like a train
announcement than a report of one of the great battles of history?
