DECISIVELY BEATEN
GERMAN AIR FORCE NO LONGER AN EFFECTIVE COMBINATION. ALLIES GAIN ABSOLUTE SUPREMACY. (Special P.A. Correspondent.) (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, October 14. The German Air Force has been decisively beaten. It is no longer an effective fighting force, says the “NewsChronicle” air correspondent, who returned from a three weeks’ tour of Mediterranean air bases. “In the Mediterranean area,” he states, “the Allied air forces have achieved not only air superiority but absolute supremacy. They blew the German and Italian air forces from the skies and forced what remained of the Luftwaffe to retire to Central and Northern Italy, leaving the troops to fight without any aircover. In R.A.F. language, the Luftwaffe has ‘had it.’ From, evidence in the Mediterranean alone it is not too bold a prophecy to say that from now until the end of the war the Luftwaffe will have a great nuisance value but never again will it be capable of undertaking a major offensive.”
