London, Oct. 12.-The rate Of the in
crease Of the allies aerial superiority
is exceeding the most extravagant ex-
pectations of allied air officials.
Germany's shortage of materials and
Of trained fliers is telling. The allied
officials know that their air job gets
easier every day. But they're not let
ting up and they don't propose to.
During recent weeks German pursuit
formations have gradually dropped
from 1S to ~ machines-and larger and
smaller formations proportionately.
Documents taken from captured
prisoners throw more light on the
causes Of these reductions. Says a
typical one, German order to sal
wage workers:
'sOur airplane industry is more and
more reduced to relying on the work
ing up Of motors and instruments
saved from destroyed airplanes. Thus
the supply Of material to the front has
become essentially dependent upon the
return of waste material from the
