tBy Associated Press)

British fighters of the air clashed with 300 German war planes in terrific battle over the Thames Estuary early today and reportedly scattered the raiders to save London from one of the greatest mass as- saults of the war.
 Flying at 15.000 feet. three waves of German bombers thundered across the Dover coast, plunged through the barrage of anti-aircraft fire and headed for London for q gigantic raid to spread fresh cfaos over the smoke hazed British capital city.
 An Associated Press observer on the channel coast said the sky seem. ed full of planes as the Germans passed over head.
 A few miles from the London de- fense. the planes were knifed by British planes and were suddenly broken into three formations by the charging Spitfires.
 Whirling DOgfights
 A series of whirling dogfights and air battles came as London's mil- lions underwent the fifth day and night of air raids and capped Night of He'll" marking the longest night raid of the war, nine hours and 54 minutes of terror from the skies.

 One member of the American Em- bassy staff said wryly:
 "We certainly had Hell last night. Bombs were popping all around us."
 Nazi Claims
 Nazi quarters in Berlin, describing the raids aimed at London's defense bases, said seven out of the British capitals ten remaining airports were badly damaged during the past 24 hours, some beyond the possibility of immediate repair.

LONDON, Seut. 18-Air Minister Sinclair told the House of Commons today that German plane losses have outnumbered British losses more than three to one since the Nazi blitzkrieg against England started
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-09-18

WASHINGTON. - The most im- portant development during the last few days of bombing London is the realization by British and American observers that bad weather is not going to help the defense of Lon don, but instead will hinder it.
 Second important development is the realization that Britain's only real defense is retaliatory raids against Berlin. This means, of course, more long-distance bombers almost all of which are now ob- tained from the United States.
 It had been generally expected that with the arrival of foggy wea- ther, London would be safer because Nazi raids would have to abate. However, there was considerable cloudy weather over England last week, and during it, Nazi bombers had a field day. What they did was to use the clouds as a shield and drop their bombs, without aiming, all over London.
 On clear days they had tried to aim at military targets. But at night, and during cloudy weather, the Nazis gave up any pretense of taking aim.
 One day last week it will be re- called that only two German planes were shot down and one British plane. This phenomenal casualty list was because of cloudy weather. Dispatches from England told how the British public was complaining because anti-aircraft guns were not firing. and British planes were not in the air. This also was because of cloudy weather.
 HIDE AND SEEK
 What happened was that when British planes went aloft they could not find the raiders. The Nazis were hidden in cloud banks, drop ping their bombs indiscriminately. Under these circumstances there was only one way for the British to To- cate the enemy bombers-by means of sound detection and radio direc- tions from the ground.
 However, these radio directions must be three dimensional to be ef- fective, and there is such wide margin for error that looking for a bomber in the clouds is like looking for a needle in haystack. That is why British planes simply did not go into the air when the weather was too cloudy.
 It is important to note that the same handicap applies to Berlin. In other words, the British raiders will be equally aided by foggy weather <C1nti,,,raI nr, Dooo E,Y1pl
