Flying Forts in
Air to Support
Commando O Action
BY ROBERT DOWSON

LONDON, Aug. 19-(UP)
American flying fortresses
today carried out a success
full precision bombing attack
on the key Nazi air base of north
France at Abbeville in an air
maneuver designed to support the
commandos fighting at Dieppe.
Two squadrons of the huge high
altitude American planes roared
over the Abbeville airdrome, which
is known to American Eagle and
Raj pilots as hornets nest" of
crack Nazi planes and pilots.
In good visibility the Americans
employed their famed bomb sights
to lay numerous hits on runways,
buildings and aircraft dispersal
areas. Protecting the U. S. planes
were British and Canadian fighter
squadrons.
All the attacking bombers return
ed safely.
KEY TO DEFENSES
Abbeville is about 35 miles from
Dieppe and is known to be a key
point in the entire Nazi defense
system for France and the low
countries
RAF men regard it as one of
the most dangerous Luftwaffe bases
with which they have to deal.
1t is believed here that about
half of Germany's fighter strength
now is in western Europe but the
caliber of the German pilots is
thought to be we'll above that of
units operating against the Russians
in the east.
The new Folke-Wulf 1905 with
which Abbeville is equipped ordi-
narily remain on the ground and
do not challenge RAF fighter sweeps
unless the British formations in
clude slower moving bombers.
Recently, however, the increasing
tempo of air fighting has forced
the Nazis to take to the air and
even engage in channel sweeps in
an effort to challenge the RATS SUI
periority

MINISTER'S STATEMENT
Doctor Buchheimer said:
II have enjoyed my association
with the welfare board and had
hoped to continue the work. But
my conscience told me Mr..
Dunno should be reinstated. And,
since 1 knew that Mr.. HafeIi
disapproved of Mr.. Dunn, and

Hafefi said Doctor Buchheimer's

himself in the reinstatement Of
Dunno. When a successor to Doc
