FOUR NAZI AIRMEN TAKEN PRISONER BY BRITISH
(SPECIAL WAR SERVICE)
(From Reuter's special correspondent with the British Expeditionary Force).
London, To-day. DETAILS NOW AVAILABLE of the shooting down on Thursday of two German reconnaissance planes show that four Germans were taken pri- soner of whom two were wounded and two un- hurt. With a third machine, the German planes crossed into French territory adjacent to the British zone and instantly British and French Anti-Aircraft batteries opened fire and British fighters which were waiting for just such an opportunity, dash- ed in pursuit.
