Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 15 The past week’s bombing cost the Germans up to midnight Friday 263 aeroplanes, many of which were bombers with multiple crews.

Even including British raiders lost over Germany and German-occupied territories, our losses have averaged only 92 machines a week for the whole war. The Germans have so far lost 4105 aeroplanes, the British 1244 and the Italians 186. To these Air Ministry figures, covering only aircraft definitely destroyed, must be added the Admiralty announcement of the destruction of at least 153 German and Italian aeroplanes.
