TOLL OF RAIDERS
TAKEN BY BRITISH GUNS. SOME AMPLIFYING DETAILS. • (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, October 1. The fact that 600 enemy planes had been shot down over Britain by antiaircraft fire since the war began was announced yesterday, but this figure includes only the “certainties” and takes no account of the many hostile aircraft which were badly damaged and must have crashed before reaching home. The highest score for 70 consecutive days is 70, and for twenty-four hours is 23. This latter record was contributed to by the defences of seven cities, stretching from Dover (where 11 were destroyed) to Dundee.
