PERFECTED AERIAL DEFENCES
Skillful Staff Work Aids Fighters LONDON, Aug, 11 (Reuter). "Reuters" air correspondent with the Fighter Command spent the morning at the headquarters of a Fighter group in southern England defending Channel ports and shipping from German air attack.
The enemy offensive, begun at day- light, was then at its height. Reports and orders which kept the telephone at the elbow of the Air Vice-Marshal commanding the group buzzing every few minutes Indicated that Spitfires and Hurricanes for away over the coast were engaged in a day of battle as furious as last Thursday when 60 Nazi aircraft were destroyed.

Up to lunch-Ume, it was confirmed that enemy losses in four separate aflacks on shipping ranging from above the Thames Estuary of beyond the Solent amounted to 10, while 32 other enemy aircraft were known to have been damaged and many of there were be- lieved destroyed.
So keen is the watch kept by the Air Force, Navy and Army that often nowadays Britain is forewarned of the approach of bly formations of enemy aircraft soon after they leave their forward bases along the Euro- pean coast-tine.
Not Much Chance Of Surprise
"I don't thing we are likely to be caught out often nowadays," claimed the Air Vice-Marshal modestly.
There was carly proof of this assertion to-day. The Brst two attacks of the day were followed by another far away down the Channel, Two squadrons of Spitfires were there to meet a hundred or so ralders, and others soon joined in.
