NAZI PLANE OUTPUT
REDUCTION BY BOMBING London, Sept. 5. "The end of the first year of the war finds us with a past full of discouragement, a present full of tribulation, and a future full of hope." That is the joumal Aeroplane's summing up of the air war in an article in 'which it estimates that Royal Air Force bombing from July onward must have reduced the German output by at least 10 aeroplanes a dny, or from 1800 a month down to 1500, while the British factories eontinue to turn out aeioplanes at a highcr rate than ever before. "Stilh" the Aeroplane says, "we do not underestimate the number of aerqplanes the enemy is holding in reserve. We know that only a small proportion has yet been used against us. and that we have still to face the full fury of the enemy's onslaught. "Our trials will be hard, but amid the full horrors of war, brought home to Britain, the spirit of the people remains uncowed. "For every bomb dropped in England, 10 will he dropped in Germany. These will strike far more truly than those aimed by the enemy, and our air offensive has only just begun."
