An Expert
Appraises
The War
BY J. W. T. WILSON
United Press Staff War Expert


Evidence OF representative dam
age being done by the present
series Of German bombings over
Britain is becoming known. as well
as the possible maximum Of effort
the Germans can put forth in the
air. Neither indicates Hitler can
win the war with his aviators
alone.
II the raids are not followed by
an invasion and do not revert 10
concentrated attacks on British
supply ships, IL Is difficult to
understand how the German COM
mand can have formulated any
realistic plan for a decisive out
come under present conditions.
Only by annihilating the
British air force could q pos
slble result favorable 10 Ger
many be obtained. There has
been no let mp, however. In
the combat power Of the Brit
ish defenders; and. indeed.
Berlin declared last night that
the enemy avistors were show
ing Increased competence.
The British say in Thursdays
raids there were 1000 "sorties,
meaning flights over British ter
ritory by planes flying indi-
vidually or in small and large
formations. II is estimated the
Germans can make little more
than 5000 sorties in a day. Yes
terday's intensified engagements
lasted between seven and eight
hours. Daylight during August
in Great Britain. owing to the
high northern latitude, lasts about
Is hours.
Thus, II the Germans were
to attack during the whole of
the daylight period, with
double the number Of planes
used Thursday. they would
have twice the time and twice
the plane power. which would
allow 5000 sorties. II by an
air blitzkrieg Ia meant the
supreme effort of the enemy
In lightning raids. then II NAV
be calculated that the German
maximum can little exceed
twice the intensification of
Thursdays assault continued
twice the number of hours.
How many continuous DAYS the
German aviators can maintain
such strain is problematicaI 10
some extent But there Ia a limit
to human endurance, and II would
seem that the time period would
be short.
An air blitzkrieg lasting a fort
night might well be uncomfortable
for the ayiators. Especially would
this be so II the British estimate
Ia accurate that approximately
seventeen per cent Of Thursdays
raiders were brought down.
The losses Of planes do not count
much. 1t is the loss of experienced
ayiators that tells, not only be-
cause Of the difficulty Of replace
ing them but also because Of the
effect on the morale OF the air
corps.
