"We shall meet and overcome the danger by industry, enter. prite, endurance and fortitude. "It will be a hard struggle but the builders of aircraft have had difficult tasks before,
"All the machines we lost dur- ing the four months in which the battle has raged over Britain have been fully paid for by public contributions.

"Against them are the British
certain that we shall destroy the enomy by our labours."
