This tells a somewhat different story from their earlier claims that the surrounded Soviet troops were disintegrating and being immediate needs of Russia abandoned by their officers.

When Britain entered the war the RAF bad but two principal types of fighter aircraft the Hur- ricane and Spitfire. Both
are single-seat, single- motor monoplanes of the low-wing type and similar general design. British bomber types were rather more diverse, but the main, long range offensive operations were carried out by three types: of 2-motor bombers Whitleys Wellingtons and Hampdens.
Many new types of operational aircraft, both fighters and bomb- ers, have come into use since Some are British, some American. There have been new departures in fighter design, the turrefted De- flaut, and the 2-motor night fight- ing Beaufighter. New type bomb- ers include 4-motor types such as the Stirling and Halifax.
Not many details of the new American types have yet been re- leased, but among those which have already been in action are the Curtis Tomahawk. a sturdy' fighter comparable to the Hurricane, the Douglas D.B.7. in its bomber ver- sion as the Boston, and
