NAZI LOSSES
133 PLANES SHOT DOWN ON FRIDAY SHOWER OF INCENDIARIES IN LONDON. SPLENDID WORK OF FIRE FIGHTERS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, September 28. A series of thrashings inflicted on the Luftwaffe yesterday, resulted in 133 of the raiders being destroyed, compared with British losses of 34 planes and 18 pilots. The perfection to which members of the Auxiliary Fire Service have brought their work was evidenced during dozens of fires which were breaking cut in all parts of London. All were quickly controlled, the firemen jumping in and cut of blazing infernos regardless of their personal safety and nullifying the effects of incendiary bombs dropped in the poorer and more inflammable areas. Incendiaries were showered in the north London suburbs. A public library in a north-west district was gutted in central London. Four persons were killed in a shelter in a south-western suburb. The days’ total brought the number of raiders destroyed so far this month to more than a thousand.
