4000 AIR SORTIES IN TWO DAYS
LONDON, September 16. The Allied air forces yesterday flew 20(10 sorties in the Salerno area, making a total of more than 4000 in two successive days. Only four planes were lost. German prisoners captured in the Saleruo area say that the German troops are asking where the Luftwaffe is, says Reuter. One prisoner said: “We have hardly seen a German plane in the air for three weeks. We are dog tired. No human beings can stand up to such regular and powerful bombing.”
