      On morning of October 1st 100 enemy aircraft operated in south 
      Dorset before being dispersed by our fighters; in the afternoon 
      three waves of approximately 50, 50 and 90 aircraft crossed the 
      Kent coast and some reached within 15 miles of London before 
      turning away. Other activity consisted of raids material damage 
      in London and home counties was slight. Note:- more than 75% 
      of enemy aircraft engaged in day raids over this country on September 
      30th were fighters. During the night of October -2nd the main 
      attack was again directed against London and bombing was widespread 
      though enemy activity was on a reduced scale. Attacks also made 
      on Liverpool, Manchester, North Midlands, East Anglia and south 
      west England. From preliminary reports it appears that little 
      damage was done to key points and that casualties were slight.
