THE WAR IN THE AIR:
R.A.F. CARRY OFFENSIVE DEEP INTO NAZI GERMANY:. REASONS FOR LOSSES
"Until the German air force is beaten out of the sky, R.A.F. casualties will continue to rise with increasing in- tensity. But directly the German air defences begin to break up, there will be a sudden drop in these losses and when that happens the days of the German air force will be numbered," said MAJOR OLIVER STEWART, M.C.. A.F.C., the well-known commentator on aerial warfare, when he broadcast from London yesterday on the losses of British aircraft and personnel since the R.A.F. develop- ed their recent offensives against Germany in the west.
"In Europe, the R.A.F. is now losing more heavily than the German air force in the west." began Major Stewart, "Its bomber losses are some- times two or three times as great and its fighter losses! have been heavier than the Germans have suffered.
"In these circumstances, the casualties must be high, be- cause it enables the enemy to get their ground defences and fighters ready to deal with unr bombers."
