The Air Ministry said extensive damage was done in the second massive raid in eight days, with 47 bombers and one fighter lost. Mosquitoes hit Berlin twice after a saturation raid a week earlier, as fighters and anti-aircraft defenses engaged. Canadians led the attack with their heaviest aircraft, while observers along the southeast coast reported bomber formations overhead for hours.
