AIR SUCCESSES
American Volunteers’ Big Bag BETWEEN 90 AND 100 ENEMY PLANES SINCE WAR BEGAN $ LONDON, January 15. Since the beginning of the Pacific war, American volunteer airmen have destroyed, between 90 and 100 Japanese planes. The Americans have lost only three machines and three airmen. A Reuter message states that in the big Japanese raids on Rangoon, in two days their losses amounted to a proportion of 30 per cent of the planes taking part. Since then the Japanese have abandoned big raids on Rangoon and confined themselves to night attacks. A Netherlands East Indies communique states that Japanese bombers raided military objectives in the Moluccas. A Japanese claim to have captured a Dutch air base in Minahassa, north Celebes, is unconfirmed.
