An item reported that in the night of 2-3 August a plane of the seaplane station Xanti attacked the air force base Thasos with bombs causing fire and several explosions which could be seen from Xanthi. Probably was a gasoline storage hit. The next morning sighted other planes from Xanthi that the building in the middle on Thasos completely was destroyed by fire. South of it were heavily smoking heaps of rubble lying.(1)
