THE AIR OPERATIONS
BRITISH WORK EARLY AND LATE
FRENCH AVIATORS INFLICT
HEAVY LOSSES.
LONDON, 11th June Sir Douglas Haig's aviation report states: Our airmen on the French battlefront, in spite of cloudy weather, worked early and late. They dropped eight tons of bombs on the enemy's troops, transport, ammunition dumps, and troops in the trendies. Direct hits were obtained on the railway at Uoye-sur-Matz and on concentrations of infantry in the triangle of Mpntdidier, Richebourg, and B.oye. Our low-fliers attacked with their mach-ine-guns every target offered along the roads behind the fighting line with immense numbers of rounds, with good effect. We shot down in this area six aeroplanes and drove seven out of control. We lost two machines. Our nightfliers dropped seven tons of bombs on Cambrai and Bapauine. All returned.
