(By Reuter's Air Correspondent)
THE R.A.F. CONTINUES to grow more powerful in the Middle East and the Balkans as the Italian menace dwindles and the Ger- man air threat looms larger.
It can be assumed that the R.A.F. is in a position to give a good account of itself should the Luftwaffe extend its field of acti- vity independently or as a curtain for the Ger- man army.
The initiative should not even rest with the German air force.
Soon the weather will under. go a marked change for the bet- ter in south-east Europe and for the worse in Africa, making more extensive operations pos- sible in the former and very difficult in Africa.

NORWEGIANS SHOOT DOWN BOMBER

WHEN A NORWEGIAN MER- CHANT SHIP WAS ATTACKED WITH MACHINE-GUNS AND BOMBS BY A TWIN-ENGINED GERMAN AIRCRAFT, A PROMPT AND EFFECTIVE RE- PLY WAS MADE FROM DE- FENSIVE ARMAMENT.
The aircraft flew on about 200 yards and then dived steeply, ex- ploding and bursting into flames as it hit the water.
When the ship reached the spot where the aircraft had crashed there was nothing to be seen but a patch of oil on the water.
