unconfrmed by any source. re-
ported today that four-motored
United States bombers had arrived
at Sevastopol to reinforce the Rus
sian air force and had gone into
action.
The Daily Express dispatch said
the American planes had flown
there from middle eastern bases.
Their first job, it was added,
was to attack German troop con-
centrations north and northeast OF
Sevastopol. the Russian naval base
fortress at the southwest side OF
the Crimea.
1t was specified that the Ameri-
can planes were Liberators, the
British name for Consolidated B-24
bombers, which made a SCATTERING
attack on the Rumanian oil fields
last week and hit two Italian bait
tleships in the big Mediterranean
air-naval battle. -.
The Daily Express dispatch did
not specify that the planes wera,
sent into action under United
States Army Air Crops crews, but
the implication seemed plain that
they had been flown from Ameri-
can Army bases in the Middle East
and had entered the Sevastopot
fight as United States Air Corps
units.
