No bombings were carried out during 1941, and until the autumn of 1942. One final bombing (by three planes) was carried out on 18/19 December 1940, targeting the Pirelli plant but instead causing slight damage to a few houses and killing eight people, wounding 16. On the night of 26 August, eleven bombers bombed the Idroscalo. On the night of 18/19 August another bombing by four planes hit the Innocenti and Caproni plants and the Linate Airport.
On the night of 15/16 August another raid ensued, but the reaction of the anti-aircraft batteries shot down one Vickers Wellington bomber, and induced the others to drop their load over the towns of Merate and Mariano Comense.
On the night of 13/14 August, three bombers dropped bombs and propaganda leaflets the target was again the Caproni plant which however was not hit, while several buildings along a few streets were, with 15 killed and 44 wounded. Bombings were renewed during August 1940.
