The advocates OF the doctrine
that war can be won by air pun

by our most qualified military
judgment. Neither have their
theories been sustained by the
effects Of air operations in this

pride, az the famous Wilhelm
strasSe. the seat of government
and officialdom.
The combined British and
American air forces are CO.
ordinatlng their efforts in great
sweeps over France and Ger
many. The weight of bombs
dropped by the American force
in recent attacks amounts TO
1900 tons in each assault. The
Raj force, which is still the
larger element in the combina-
ton, and whose bombers are
designed for heavier loads,
hurled over 2,200 tons on the
city Of Frankfort-on-the-Main.
THEORETICALLY. as the
4 progress of the bombing Of
a city like Berlin goes on, we
should expect our losses to in
crease, for the enemy will null
tiply his ground anti-aircraft
defenSes, and he will concern
trate his interccptor and fight
ing SquadronS to meet them.
Furthermore. as a city is de-
moliShed under air attack. the
new targets that are worth
bombing become fewer. and the
net result is diminished. But
50 far as I can Judge. the loss Of
Allied bomberS over Germany is
not rising; rather il seems to be
diminishing in proportion to the
increasing numbers of planes
employed I think this may be
very significant.
This is the greatest air battle
In the history of air warfare. It
is more than so-called strategic
bombing" which is designed to
soften up enemy resistance and
impair enemy war production.
II is. in fact, an attempt by
the air arm to prove that it can
knock the enemy out and win a
war.
