R.A.F. MAKES LIFE- UNPLEASANT FOR NAZI AIRMEN
London, To-day. THE IMPORTANCE OF RECONNAISSANCE flights in the Norwegian campaign was stressed by a Naval Observer in a broadcast talk last night.
From the earliest days of military aviation, he said, the im- portance of reconnaissance by air and its effects on land and sea strategy must have been foreseen. During the last war, air reconnaissance came into its own at Jutland, where a single seaplane first reported the enemy. And, again, only the other day, it was from the air that enemy movements in Norwegian waters was detected.
Since then, the R.A.F. has flown many thousands of miles along the Norwegian coast. Photographs have been taken and scores of reports have come in from which much important Information has been secured.
Then there have been the bombing raids, by night and day, on warships, aerodromes, transports and so on, carried out successfully despite the fact that there were 300 mile-journeys across the sea in either direction be- fore and after the main part of the work was done.
STAVANGER RAIDS The raids on Trondheim and Stavanger have had special signific- ance, for there are few flat spaces in Norway, and the R.A.F. have tried to make such bases as there are unsuit- able for German use for troop-carry ing and other 'planes. Furthermore, these bases might well be used later for attacks on the British Isles.
