- R.A.F. OVER BERLIN On February 15, the R.A.F. made a very large-scale night attack on Berlin. Over 1,000 aircraft dropped 2,500 tons of bombs at the rate of eighty tons a minute. The ground defenses were active but little fighter opposition was met. Large fires were started and the smoke clouds rose four miles high. The communications of the city were put out of action. Top:[this photo] Allied bombers on the raid show fantastic vapor trails. Bottom: Incendiary bombs [with cookie at bottom center of image] drop towards their target.
