Nazi Bomber Riddled At 18,000 Feet

R.A.F. MEN DESCRIBE A THRILLING AIR BATTLE

By DOUGLAS WILLIAMS

"Daily Telegraph" Special War Correspondent WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. Standing in the mud of a Service aerodrome in France this morning, I talked with the three Royal Air Force pilots who were directly involved in yesterday's successful battle with German 'planes over the British lines.

Scattered around the improvised field were the squadron's fighter machines, some ready for instan- taneous take-off, others being refuelled and checked by mechanics.

The weather was cold and misty and the ceiling al- most zero, all in sharp contrast to the bright sunny day and blue sky with unlimited horizon that yesterday tempted the German 'planes to make their disastrous at- tempt at a photographic reconnaissance over our posi tions.

The three pilots, aged respectively 22, 23 and 26, had none of them been in the Service for more than three years. All previously had been in business. One had been with a firm of flour millers, the second, hailing from Surbiton, had worked in the City, and the third had originally been tag, and the landing wheels of the an apprentice at the De-controls had been cut by bullets or machine dropped, either because the Havilland works in Eng- because the pilot had dropped them land.
