British Experts Find
Nazis Convert Fighter
Planes Into Bombers
Study Of Croft FelIed Also
Has. Revealed VirtuuIIy
All Foes Aircraft Secrets
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. s. Germany's
Messerschmitt fighting planes. hith-
erto used almost exclusively as
fighters and bomber escorts. are be-
ing converted into hit-and-run day
light bombers, British aircraft ex-
perts have discovered.
This change, the experts have con-
cluded after an exhaustive exam
ination of planes shot down, is part
of the evolution the Nazi air force
has undergone in recent weeks as a
result of the stiff resistance they
have found in the aerial siege of
England.
Extra armor- plating is being put
on both the Messerschmitt ITO twin
engined plane and on the single
scatter Messerschmitt 100, the British
said The former sometimes carries
four 50-kilogram (about ITO pounds)
bombs. and the latter two 250-kilo-
gram bombs.
Armaments Doubled.
The British said they found that
the Junkers 88 dive bomber's free
machine guns had been doubled
from three to six, and that the
Junkers, carrying better defensive
equipment than the Heinkels, are
being used for daylight work, while
the Heinkels are used at night.
The Heinkel Ill has had one ma
chine gun on each side, firing
through the windows, added to it's
armament. The weakness of the
Heinkels, the experts agreed, was
that pilot and bombardier were ex-
posed in "a glass house"
Examination of the planes used
against England. the experts fur
Their found. showed that some had
special tanks for high-test fuel oil
used in starting the craft, after
which the pilots switched to lower
grade gasoline.
Know Virtually All Secrets.
The men who studied the various
planes said they now know vir-
tually all secrets of German aircraft
production as represented in the
ships now used. Materials are good,
they said, workmanship sound and
finishing excellent. They decided,
however, that the manufacturers
pay too much attention to such de-
tail as wiring and interior fittings
and not enough to the features
which give planes speed and maneu-
variability.
