London, (by maiD Aug. 10.-Fron
London to Jericho the Allies have OBJ
tanned a decided superiority over the
enemy in the air. Since the wal
started Germany has trailed France
and England in aerial warfare, Zep'
pelins excepted. France and England
didn't waste their time with ZeppelinE
which have been q dismal failure when
compared with bombing machines
such as the Allies build and manip-
ulate, much to the terror of the Rhine
towns.
Besides forcing down and destroy
ing three German aeroplanes to one
lost by the Allies, England, France
and now America are building better
machines, faster machines and ma
chimes which will carry more tons o.
bombs each than the German.
Germany has lost not less than
5000 machines and aviators in the
past twelve mc1ths.
This figure, 5000, represents Ger
many's losses in all theatres Of war to
Allied airmen. While the exact Of
fetal number of German planes de-
stroyed, together with the Allied
losses, may not be disclosed, it may
be stated that this unofficial summary
is very conservative.
At the outbreak Of the war Great
Britain had eighty aircraft. Every
few days Great Britian is producing
more aeroplanes and other material
for the air force than she possessed
altogether at one stage of the war.
The strength of the Royal Air Force
has been multiplied at least 200 times
in personnel as compared to the per-
sonnel at one stage Of the war. Great
Britain also ha; furnished consider
able airplanes for her allies.
England's air force has undergone
radical reconstruction and its tactics
have been changed, much to the dis
comfture of Germany. Briefly, these
changes are: Consolidation Of the
Royal Flying Corps and the Royal
Naval Air Service into one organiza-
ton, known as the Royal Air Force
establishment of an air ministry, Gre
alton of the Independent Air Force
and use of Cavalry" aviatOrs-air-
men who have charged advancing
Germans, bombed and machine-gun.
