Editing City Series:Volume6c Chapter5 (section)

===Part 8===

At 8:17 PM, somewhat behind schedule, a bombing fleet mostly made up of moonlight-resistant bombers began to take off from all of England’s airfields for Project Millennium.

There were 18 squadrons in all for a total of 1046 aircraft.

Each squadron took off at 20-minute intervals so the bombers could unload their payload of nearly 1500 tons of divine spell bombs and incendiary bombs over the course of six hours.

Previous aerial bombings had strategically destroyed industrial areas, but this largescale bombing was meant to obliterate an entire city. They would wipe the city off the map to end the German people’s conviction and will to fight.

The RAF had bet their pride on this mission meant to take revenge for the many aerial bombings England had received.

The strategic purpose of the bombing was to blast open the eastern entrance to Germany and prove that they could carry enough firepower to destroy any city and get it to Germany’s doorstep.

Word of the largest bombing in history raced through the Allied intelligence network, bringing silence to all.

It was a silence heavy with expectation and worry.
