      Two enemy bombers were destroyed and two more damaged, all by 
      fighters. We had no losses. The only military damage reported 
      was a fire at one aircraft factory which may temporarily slow 
      down production.
 
      
Night of October 24th/25th. 
Only a light attack was made 
      on London; fewer bombs were dropped than usual and most of them 
      were south of the river. Birmingham was the centre of the attack.
 
      
 
 
In the London area although some minor damage to utility services 
      was reported, no harm was done to railways or roads. Casualties 
      are believed small.
 
      At Birmingham several fires were caused and at one time 350 pumps 
      were operating but by daylight this number had been reduced by 
      two thirds and all fires were under control. Although damage 
      to private property was considerable none appears to have been 
      caused to factories, casualties so far known are 7 killed and 
      80 wounded.
