Allied Airmen Drop
Tons of Bombs On
Enemy Works in
Daily Raids
AIR FIGHTING
WORST OF WAR
By associated Press

London, Friday, Aug. 16.-Meas-
ured by the number of machines en-
gagged, the intensity of the fighting
1icted on the enemy, the fighting in
the air during the past week was the
most formidable of the war.
Some of the most severe conflicts
occurred on August in the sector
between Albert and the Amiens- Roye
road where the German air
forces were increased considerably
soon after the opening of the allied
offensive. The air fighting resulted in
the destruction of As enemy ma
chimes, while II others were driven
down out of control. Fifty British
machines did not return.
During the six succeeding days 1856
enemy airplanes were destroyed and
SO driven down out of control, maxi
ing a total of 339 German machines
for the week compared to 1913 Brit
ish airplanes missing.
In the same period British bomb
ing squadrons continually attacked
enemy airdromes, railways and other
military obiectives, dropping more
than 100000 pounds of bombs and
causing great damage. Low flying
scout machines raked the enemy s
congested roads of retreat with ma
chine gun fire, intlicting many casu-
alties.
A notable feature of the aerial
operations was the virtually continue
Gus night and day bombing of the
enemy bridges over the Somme This
greatly hampered the supply and re-
inforceme- of the German troops.
The weeks work also included Il
number of destructive raids into
Germany.
