MANY DESTROYED

ENEMY BOMBERS RAIDING MALTA SUCCESSES OF THE ISLAND'S NIGHT FIGHTERS. SOME OVER AIRFIELDS IN SICILY. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.10 a.m.) RUGBY, July 3. Malta’s night-fighter unit, which was formed last November, has definitely destroyed 31 enemy bombers and damaged many others. It has been reckoned that of every ten bombers to fly over Malta at night, eight are illuminated by searchlights and four brought down by night-fighters. Considerable successes have also been gained by night-fighters over the enemy’s Sicilian airfields. Many bombers setting off to attack Malta, or returning from the island, have been destroyed over their own airfields. One pilot shot down three bombers in an hour. Last week seven enemy bombers were destroyed.
