On the Saloniki front on the morn
ing of September 81 British airplanes
brought timely advice of the impend-
ing retirement of the enemy. Later
in the day they saw that the Kos
turine-Sturza road was densely packed
with troops and transports hur-
rying to theh rear. Squadrons of
British airmen continuously attacked
these from a low height, causing
much material destruction and many
casualties.
In the course of a single air fight
between four British machines and
fourteen enemy craft two of the hos
tile machines were destroyed, while
one British airplane failed to return.
On the western front in France, in
addition to dropping nearly 40 tons
of bombs, they destroyed 81 enemy
machines, drove down thirty-five out
of control and shot down eight kite
balloons in flames. Forty British ma
chimes were reported missing. On the
Rhine front nearly fifty tons of bombs
were dropped during the week on rail-
ways, blast furnaces, factories and
hostile airdromes. In Italy six enemy
machines were destroyed and three
