AIR MINISTRY CLAIMS "TOO TIMID"
"From now onwards my only complaint against these Air Ministry communiqués will be that they are too timid in their claims about the successes of the R.A.F.," said Mr. Vernon Bartlett, M.P., broadcasting on his visits to R.A.F. squadrons in various parts of the country. ‘One pilot said he had shot away a large piece of the enemy’s radiator. That almost inevitably meant that the machine would catch fire long before it cduld get to the Continent. The claim was not included as a "kill," but went into the second class of "probably destroyed." Another pilot saw a piece five feet long fall from a German machine. a it was included in the second ass.
