The one-year tally sheet of air war, ac- tording to of- ficial British figures, gives the R.A.F. a wide margin in results over the Luftwaffe and its Italian consort, and an edge in equipment and training which goes far to compensate a big deficit in numbers.

but above all at coastal shipping. The balance, according to neutral as well as British abservers, rested with the more active R.A.F.

During the four weeks ended August 5, for example, the RAF dropped 37,000 bomba over Ger- man controlled territory, with great damage at points like lam burg and districts like the Ruhr. During the same period, the Ger mans dropped 6.987 over Britain, with some undeniable damage but no crippling effects..
