Precision Attacks.
Mounting daylight precision at
tacks of long-range bombers or
fighter plants were followed up
early this spring, by strafing sweeps
at low level on enemy planes parked
on flying fields.
For months the Germans threw
up furious fighter opposition against
the heavies stamping out aircraft
production at Kassel. Oschersleben,
Warnemunde, Frankfurt, Regens-
burg, Marienburg, Anklam and
Bremen.
Many big bombers went down, but
the great majority blasted their
way to the target and all the way
back to the Channel when fighters
hung on. They knocked down SO
many fighters and crippled so many
factories that they tanned the Luft-
waite.
In recent months, the Germans
have elected battle only when our
bombers were bearing down on the
targets whose destruction hurt them
most-the biggest fighter plants,
the ball bearing works, the synthetic

The first troops to land In France
have been able to take full advan-
tage of the fact that Hermann
Goering's air force had been we'll
hammered down in advance.
No matter how they may fare
later, air and seaborne units which
led the way were allowed to reach
primary objectives almost unop-
posed by the Luftwaffe--a surprise
even to AAF officers aware of the
destructive force of the long cam
paign to crush German air power
The basic No. mission of the
AAF in Europe, according to Gen.
II. Fl. Arnold, has been destruction
of Nazi air power.
Secondary Phase.
The air war now, in the absence
of serious challenge to Allied COM
mand of the sky, is entering a Sec
ondary phase which aims at isola-
ton of defense areas from sources
of reinforcement, supply and COM
munications.
With heavy land engagements be-
lieved to be shaping up, a crushing
weight of strategic as we'll as tacti-
cal units has been thrown into this
task. What happened in Italy when
this occurred is matter of record.
Once the Allies seized command of
the sky. they turned an enormous
weight of bombs on 26 railroads and
other .Nazi supply arteries. The
enemy was restricted to the use of
damaged highways under cover of
darkness.
At the same time the Allies, fully
protected from the air, could move
their vehicles in concentration, hub
to hub If need be, and when and
where they choose. Two weeks be-
fore the fall of Rome. Gen. Arnold
told a press conference 1t would "be
interesting to watch" what effect
the severance of vital German
supply lines would have on the
italian campaign.
Tougher Job In France.
The AAFs job In France is, of
course, incomparably greater. Enemy
supply lines are much shorter and
easier to maintain.
Observers say the German air
force, If driven to the gamble, can
throw into combat strength as
great as that of the Luftwaffe of
old. The great Nazi weakness, it
was said. lies in poverty of reserves
and manufacturing capacity to re-
place the losses OF any prolonged
combat in force.
Some observers here believe the
Nazis will continue to hoard fighter
and bomber strength until they have
a clear picture of the strategy of
the, whole Allied attack. The fact
that they lacked fighters ito meet
us every time," it was said, un-
questionably has saved thousands of
lives and precious time In the initial
landings. Too, it has allowed in
vasion troops to maneuver with far
greater freedom.

Continued Bombing Told.
Airmen returning again and again
to old, bomb-marked targets said
workmen under the Nazis seemed to
swarm like ants about the repair
of damaged works. The Germans
rebuilt and rebuilt again, mean
while shifting production forces to
other factories. But the continual,
systematic blanketing of vital man
ufacturing areas began to tell.
Just before the invasion, Gen.
Arnold estimated that air action
had knocked out three-fourths of
Nazi fighter production planned for
this year. He refused to predict the
result Of the gigantic night and day
air attack on Hitler's fighting ma
chine because, he said, the world
had never seen before such a con-

Latest Beauty Trick Is Matching
Mascara And Shadow With Hat
BY ALICIA HART

Using green mascara on your
eyelashes to match a green feather
which poufs over your hat may
sound trifle mad, but it's being
done. So reserve judgment until you
hear me out.
This business of coating your
lashes to match your bonnet is a
vogue launched by Madam AziZa,
former Partisan eye cosmetician,
who hand makes 10 shades Of
shadow and mascara to glamorize
your sparklers, which this season
are in strong competition with
fancy headpiece.
First to adopt the vogue were
glamorous models. Lynne Engler,
the John Powers beauty, has mas.
cara or eyeshadow to go wi b
every color hat.
Said Lynne, as she stroked or

pie feather on he- hat, my favor
lite evening whimsy is to wear gold
eyeshadow to match a gold turbar
that winds around nv head"
