Mosquitoes Stinging Nazis Over Europe Raid Updates
London May 2 RAF Mosquito bombers struck Berlin for the second night running and for the fifth time since May 13. British aircraft attacked targets in France and Germany including Bremen and Essen while mines were laid in enemy waters. The Berlin radio dismissed the raids as merely nuisance attacks. In Bremen area Mosquitoes hit a factory, shelled a freight yard, and damaged trains and AA batteries. Beaufighter and other aircraft damaged locomotives and barges in France. Coastal England saw no bombs dropped as raids failed to reach the city. RAF intruder pilots remarked that German bombers largely stayed home due to Mosquito pressure.

Floods threaten crops as optimism grows in Chicago reports
Crop experts in Chicago caution that floods across six states inundated thousands of farm acres and caused multi million dollar damage. They note delayed corn planting by late spring and roads hampering sowing but expect possible catch up with warm summer weather. Autumn frosts and late plantings may still jeopardize yields, while oats suffer 5 to 15 percent losses in some states. Winter wheat in much of the southwest remains unscathed.
