A|RPLANE FIGHTS PRINCIPAL NOTE
 N RECENT DRIVE
Bravery and Tactics of American Aviators Sub
 ject of Discussion.

American Headquarters in France, Sept. -Reuters-The outstanding achievement of the American Army in the latest offensive stands un- doubtedly to the credit of its avia- tors. Their commander, Colonel Mitchell, said it will be long before their record up to and including Sat- urday is surpassed, with sixty ma- chimes and twelve balloons burned without single casualty.
 On Saturday the distance covered by the planes of a single wing of the service amounted to 44,510 miles. They fought fifty combats and des- troyed nineteen airplanes without loss to themselves. One patrol men ten enemey planes between Charpentery and Ivoiry, sent down one in flames caused five to crash and drove down two out of control.
 Another patrol came upon seven Fokkers which were almost immedi- ately joined by seven more. The Americans attacked. During a twenty minute mix-up, which took the combatants from Sommerance to Liny, seven enemy planes were des- troyed and the remainder scattered in all directions. In addition to their successes the German balloons were literally swept from the sky.
 Lieut.. Frank Luke of Phoenix, Ariz., recently brought down three airplanes and two balloons in ten minutes, is an expert at getting the balloons in their beds.
 One pursuit group had sixty-five victims to it's credit within three weeks of its arrival at the front, thir- ty-five of these being balloons.
 General Pershing's report On Sat urday's operations said the Ameri- cans had brought down twelve bal looms and more than sixty enemy planes, while less than a third of that number of our planes are missing"
