Did the Poles bomb Reich territory in September 1939?

I am aware of a single Polish aircraft dropping a few light bombs on Danzig in early September, but were there any Polish air raids on pre-war Reich territory that month?

Many thanks,

Sid.

Hi Sid,

I haven't found anything about polish attacks over the Reich in september 1939.
The only thing I've read is :
3rd September 1939, the chief of the polish air force ask to the chief of staff of the polish army the permission of bombing Koenigsberg with P 37 bombers. The answer was no. It was out of the question to attack targets on the german territory.

So long.

Hi DS,

I have also found that Polish aircraft overflew Slovakia as well as Danzig. It would be strange if they did not attack their main opponent as well.

Cheers,

Sid.
