AIR SUPERIORITY

OVER GERMANS IN LIBYA

ESTABLISHED BY HARD fighting.

AND MAINTENANCE OF SEA I COMMUNICATIONS.

(British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 12.25 p.m.) RUGBY, December 25. In a message of greetings to all ranks of the Air Forces in the Middle East under his command, Air Marshal Tedder referred to the battle for Libya as follows:—“For the first time in any land campaign, Germany has felt, in the Libyan battle now raging, the full force of air superiority against her. That air superiority and all it means have been hard won. It has been attained and is being maintained, notonly by hard fighting in the air and by incessant attacks on the enemy’s supply, but, also by the steady maintenance of our own supplies by sea. More than ever does the air battle depend on the long chain devoted to the work of close co-operation.”
