The seventh victim was a Dornier 215 which was chased out to 冠
sea by threé Spitfires. - Anti-aircraft fire caused two of them to discontinue the pursuit but the third continued, alone and fifteen miles
over France the British pilot silenced the Gerinan rear gunner with his first burst, the se- cond caused the Dornier to wobble and after the third the Dornier's nose went up and it stalled at about 100 One, and more probably two, Ger-feet.-British Wireless,
