BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

American and British air superb
ority on the Belgian front is over
whelming.
Reports indicate that, in the face
of the present emergency which has
threatened crossings of the Meuse
between Namur and Liege, every
thing that the United States 9th Air
Force, the United States 9th Air
Force, the British Bomber Com
mand and the British Tactical Air
Force can get into the skies has
been used as tactical force. The
Allied striking power from the
clouds has been used both to blast
German troop movements along the
roads and to disrupt supplies and
communications in the rear.
Weather Big Factor.
The weather has been an impor-
tant factor. Air power has been
crippled by a heavy fog covering the
ground-as happens to be the situ-
alton much of the time in the Eifel-
Ardennes region during the winter.
And almost constantly, fog or not,
there is a ground mist which partly
conceals movements along the roads
or across the fields.
Across France I have witnessed a
good many German road conveys
wrecked by strafers. I have seen as
many as 100 vehicles of all sorts.
motor and horse drawn, scattered
along a couple of miles of French
highway Generally there were few
dead. The troops attached to such
conveys escaped-a quite simple
matter. But whatever supplies we're
carried were lost and the vehicles
themselves were piles of junk.
Generally the horses were dead
in their harnesses. Several times
I have been strafed on the road by
the Germans. One merely jumps
over wall or hedge a few yards
to either side of the highway and
is reasonably safe, leaving the
abandoned vehicle to its fate. There
isn't a chance in a hundred that
anything will hit you.
Mist Halts Attacks.
But these strafing attacks have,
for the most part, been in good
weather. A fighter bomber pilot
must spot his target quite precisely
and swoop low over it. He cannot
do this if there is a ground mist
four or five feet high. A road is a

LOT the usual reply. They had seen
the planes coming. They had taken
the elementary precaution, which
anybody but an American war cor
respondent would take, of finding
shelter.
Conditions in mid-July were much
more favorable, presumably, than
in Belgium in early winter.
All this merely indicates that air
power is not invariably supremely
effective weapon against troops. 1t
Jail depends on circumstances. Re-
gardless of conditions, of course, it
is OF inestimable value in breaking
up supply lines and wrecking sources
OF supply. But there is no reason
to be disappointed if overwhelming
superiority in the air doesn't win
a battle on any particular day.

successful use Of the air against
ground forces was early last Au.
gust in Normandy when the British
rocket shooting typhoons, used
against tank columns on the roads
constituted perhaps the most i'm
portant single factor in breaking ur
the Avranches counterattack, ano
introduced new battle tactics.
But, especially toward midday, the
ground conditions of midsummer in
Normandy were almost ideal. Ger
man tanks were confined to the
roads. They were perfectly visible
from a thousand feet or more. The
Typhoons could concentrate their
rocket fire on a precisely located
enemy. The damage they did was
inestimable.
Greatest Plane Use.
Up to a few days ago the greatest
use of the airplane as a tactical
weapon was along the st. Lo-Perriers
road in Normandy on the eve of
the great Marigny breakthrough.
More than 5000 planes concentrated
on an east-west strip not more than
10 miles wide. Few valid conclu-
sions can be drawn by an amateur
from this operation. The first at
tempt was a failure. 1t was under
taken on cloudy day. Most of the
planes had to return without &C
complishing anything. The Ger
mans were warned of what was
coming. They moved ahead into
the strip Of country vacated by the
Americans to get out Of the way of
the air attack.
The next day was clear. The sky
was black with planes of all sorts,
from Fortresses and Liberators to
Thunderbolts and Mustangs. For
Is miles around the ground shook as
II there had been a major earth
quake. 1t was a rather terrifying
experience to be even on the edge

Prisoners captured that same day
