DETAILS OF NORTH SEA

AERIAL CLASHES

London, To-day.

FURTHER DETAILS OF THE recent engagement over the North Sea between an aircraft of the R.A.F. Coastal Command and a German flying boat are now available; both machines were within twenty feet of the water throughout the fight.

The British aircraft, a Hudson, was on patrol when the pilot saw a dark grey Dornier at sea level. The Bri- tish pilot attacked from the beam and opened the fight with three short bursts from his froht gun.

The Dornier turned steeply to port but the Hudson swung to starboard to bring his rear gun into action. Two bursts were fired as the enemy came into the sight.
