ALLIED AIR FORCES
WELL, PREPARED FOR ANY EVENTUALITY COMMENT ON GOERING’S THREAT. GERMAN CIVILIANS SPARED THUS FAR. A report received on Sunday from a 8.8. C. observer with the R.A.F. in France states that the Allies, and particularly the R.A.F., are fully prepared to resist any intensification by Germany of attacks in the air as threatened recently by Field-Marshal Goeiing, if these lead to indiscriminate bombing- , . . British planes have not yet made any attacks on the enemy for fear of killing civilians, and have not carried bombs on their reconnaissance flights over Germany. The present attitude of the R.A.F. is that there are quite legal military objectives, but they could not be attacked without causing death or injury to civilians, and for .that reason the R.A.F. has held its hand. it „ ... , It is considered that the British planes have a better performance than that of the enemy’s, and are more suited to war conditions, and the airmen show much more determination and skill in pressing home attacks. Much the same view is held by an American correspondent with the R.A.F. The opinion is expressed that the airmen rather than the machines will win the day.
