ABSENCE OF RAIDS

WEIGHTY FACTS FOR GOERING

By Major F. A. de V. Robertson

LONDON.

One is constantly asked why there has hitherto been no whole-hearted air, action by the bomber forces of elther alde. As regards our own reasons we cannot go beyond what The Prime Minister said in his broadcast recently. Our bomber force will be used at the proper time that is to say, when It can be used with the greatest effect.

I proper function is to attack the back areas of the enemy's army and hamper the moving up of reinforcement and munitions. It can at a moment's notice be switched over to attaclt factories and indus- trial arens. It can help the fleet, as the R.A.F. did when it raided Wilhelmshaven and badly damaged the Graf Spee, and as the Germans tried to do when they raided the Firth of Forth,

Our own bomber force, already strong, grows stronger every day as the factories turn out more machines and the training schools turn cut more crews. When the time comes to use it it will be a very formidable striking force,

The German Air Force As for the Germans' abstention from mass uttacks on Britain and France, one can only make conjec- tures. But It la remarkable that. whereas the German Navy has abandoned all the rules of civilised warfare, the Germen Air Force has hitherto scrupulously respected them -since the end of the Polish cam- palgn-apart from the dropping of mines by parachute. There have been no attempts to bomb residential areas, and in the raids on

convoys almost certainly the bombs have been aimed at the naval escort ships quite legitimate targels-and not at the merchantmen

It may be that the German authorities ate fully

vulnerability of their country. The Ruhr, for instance, on which about 60 per cent of Germun heavy Indus- trich are based, is very vulnerable; and it may be, that so far the Ger mans have shrunk from provolding a great competition in bombing prac- lice.

They may conceivably also restrained by laclical considerations. There is not the least doubt that in both bombers and fighters the Ger- man Air Force is less well equipped than the RAF. Teking bombers first. we huve adopted the policy that bombers must be able to defend themselves, and, realising the dif fleulty of holding machine-gun steady in the rush of air at the pre- sent spects of aircraft, we have fitted our bombers with gun turrets which are operated by, the power of the engines, so that the gunner can swing his gun and himself in any direction without exertion.

The German bombers have not got power-operated turrets. They decided that bombers must rely on
