FULL WEIGHT

OF ALLIED AIR ATTACK

FALLING ON ROMMEL’S FORCES.

MANY LIGHTERS BEING SUNK. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.40 p.m.) LONDON. August 16. Remmel’s forces in the Egyptian battle area are beginning to feel the full weight of concentrated and skilfully operated air operations, says “The Times” correspondent in the Western Desert. These recently have been considerably increased and United States fighters and giant bombers are now operating alongside the R.A.F. The continual sinking of enemy lighters indicates how desperately Rommel is trying to build up his Afrika Corps for a supreme trial of strength. What percentage of these lighters is sunk is unknown, but probably it is high. Many slip through in the darkness. Rommel’s need is so great that many are being sent across during daylight. Of these only a few reach port.
