GREAT AIR BATTLE

OVER KENT AND THAMES ESTUARY

ENEMY FORMATIONS BROKEN. 1

BRITISH FIGHTERS INFLICT LOSSES.

(British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) RUGBY, August 28.

A great air battle raged from the middle of Kent to the Thames Estuary before noon today. Early in the morning a force of enemy aircraft came over South Kent coast and soon afterwards a larger force flew over the north Kent coast. It is authoritatively stated that both forces flew inland and were engaged by British fighters, who broke up formations and inflicted losses upon the enemy. Only half an hour separated two warnings in the London area last night, but they were of considerably shorter duration than on the previous night.
