BOMBING OF BRITAIN

RESUMPTION LIKELY DURING WINTER NEED OF HIGHLY ORGANISED DEFENCES. TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN FLYING FORTRESSES. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 9. An emphatic warning that Germany might resume the bombing of Britain during the winter was given in London today by an air authority. He said the enemy had ceased bombing Britain when he opened his second front in Russia. He left-us alone solely because his aircraft were engaged in Russia, Egypt, the Mediterranean, and elsewhere. But we had taught him a new technique of bombing industrial centres and there was no reason why, when aircraft were available, he should not send heavy bombers to Britain to take as terrible a vengeance as possible. Therefore, it was necessary to organise civilian as well as aerial defence to the highest possible degree. The same speaker paid a tribute to the recent feats of American Flying Fortresses which had fought with the utmost skill and gallantry. Their shooting, tactics, and the good co-opera-tion between them and ourselves had reached the highest peak. They had shown great sturdiness and stood up to punishment well. They were very heavily armed and the German fighters showed great respect for them. They were a marked step forward in precision bombing.
