WON'T BELIEVE R.A.F. BOMBERS ARE RAIDING BERLIN

(From A Special Correspondent)

IN THIS CORNER of the country, one of the great crashing grounds of enemy planes, I have talked with several Army Intelligence officers about the captured airmen.

They have found that German fighter pilots are of a much better type than the bomber crews, who are usually violent young Nazis, often with a wireless operator of about 17.

The age of the fighters is about 24, though two extreme. instan- ces, both pilots of single-seatcr

Messerschmidts, suggest that no one is too young or old in Hitler's doped generation.
