ATTACK THAT FAILED
ON R.A.F. AERODROME.
THREE ENEMY AIRCRAFT SHOT DOWN. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.35 a.m.) RUGBY, October 7. An Air Ministry communique states: “Yesterday afternoon a squadron of enemy bombers, escorted by fighters, attacked an aerodrome used by the R.A.F. wing on the Russian front. The enemy at once was engaged and driven off by our fighters, who destroyed three JU 88’s, without loss to themselves. Nearly all the other enemy bombers were damaged, several so seriously that it is unlikely that they reached their base. One aircraftsman was slightly injured by a bomb fragment, but no damage done to the aerodrome.
