with their heavy Lancasters
and Strings. capable Of drop
ping as much as eight tons OF
explosive in single fight. But
the destruction of targets IN
the air-that is TO say, German
fighter planes - requires that
the stress be put on firepower.
American bohlbers have done
exactly that, sacrificing bomb
load in favor Of heavier armor
and especially greater firepower.-
How and why this division Of
functions between British and
Americans happened is a SUBJ
iect / shall deal with in an
other dispatch. The fact is that
the American phase Of the air
effort has the elimination OF
enemy airplanes as a primary
purpose.
Obviously we cannot accom-
plish this by avoiding combat.
