(British Official Wireless.)
KUGBY, October 30
A remarkable .exploit by a Hurricane pilot officer is recorded in an Air Ministry bulletin. In a recent engagement he was with his squadron at 19.i0.00 feet when they saw a formation ol Dorniers. accompanied by enemy fighters. "We went in to attack the bombers arxd did several quite goo.d attacks," he said later. "Finally all my ammunition was gone, but I had the satisfaction of seeing one Dornier I had aimed at exploding in the air, and I saw another go spinning down with part of its wing off. "My aircraft then rammed one of the enemy bombers amidships. One of its wings was torn oft My aircraft was wrenched clear of the enemy plane, which was now minus its port wing and most of its engine. My cockpit was filled with fumes and the machine was falling out of control in an inverted spin, so I left hurriedly."
