BATTLES IN THE Am
"The aerial Battle of Britain is being fought at heights varying from 16,000 to 30,000 feet. At the end of the day there may be only seven, eight, nine or ten Germans down. There may be an almost equal loss of British planes. But a German formation has been broken up and kept away. And during that day Britain has functioned normally, the wheels of her factories have whirred and spun making her war supplies and the [export supplies whereby Britain must finance the war; her people have gone confidently about their* business; life has functioned as usual. And all this because somewhere four miles up in the sky a few youths, regardless of death, have been hurling themselves at German squadrons outnumbering them five, ten, fifteen or twenty to one."—Mr Robert P. Post, London, in New York "Times Magazine."
