Returning at a height of 100 feet, they used machino-guns on favourable ground targets, causing casualties and scattering a company of infantry in all directions "Air fighting is heavy. We brought down 10 enemy machines, and drovo down 10 others. Two of ours are missing. "Wo dropped 1} tons of bombs today on tlu* Daimler motor works at Stuttgart, in broad daylight.

The defending hostile machines withdrew, after weakly attempting to attack our formation. "One of our machines has not returned owing to engine trouble."
