Though the results of thej R.A.F."s visitation would be apparent] on the following morning to those liv- j ing in the vicinity, "yet in spite of! this, the High Command is forced to! observe strict reticence in its reports because the enemy, too, has particular j interest in learning where and on | what target his airmen scored hits. Aj seemingly inconspicuous news item may often give dangerous indications to the enemy."—B.O.W. |
