AIRCRAFT DESTROYED.
LONDON, Sept. 28 (British Wireless) — Lafe reports show that in Wednesday's air bat- tles over Britain 26 German aircraft were destroyed, 22 by fighters and 'thur by A.A. fire. This total was announced by the Air Ministry this morn- ing.
As already reported, at least 15 of these enemy aircraft were bombers- ала three others fighter-bombers.
This fact is interesting in view of the recent German tactic of sending a high pro- portion of fighters to protect their bombers on some occa- sions the proportion Leing as bigh as five to one and some- times even considerably higher.

SECTION
THE ROYAL AIR FORCE on Wednesday night subjected Berlin to the longest raid of the war, according to Reuter and British Wireless messages received from New York and London, respectively, last night.
A trans-radio from Berlin to New York stated that the raid ended at 4 a.m. yesterday after a five-hour alarm in the German capital.
An Air Ministry bulletin, describing the raid, says:
"From soon after 10 p.m. until the early hours of this morning, heavy bombers of the RAF. kept up a series of attacks on important military objectives in and around Berlin. Four separate attacks within one hour were made on Klingenberg power station in the heart of the Industrial section to the east of the city.
"This station known as the Gross Draftwerk Klingenberg has an output capacity of 300,000 kilowatts and is the power supply source of some of the city's largest industria? concerns.
