MANY KILLS

BOMBS LAUNCHED BY ANOTHER ROUTE (Rec. 12.45 p.m.) LONDON, July 1. Flying bombs fell in Southern England, including the London area, tins afternoon. It is feared that there were a number of Casualties. Many flying bombs came in from the sea against Southern England all clay, but lighters operating in strength made a succession

of kills. The fighters dived against the Hying bombs as they raced through the air. Some were shot down into the sea, others in the countryside near a town. More flying bombs were shot down during the evening. There was an exciting race between two fighters for the first kill, but they broke off the chase, leaving the kill to a third pilot. Anti-aircraft units guarding the usual flying bomb routes had their first quiet night since the attacks began, but the gunners in another ipart;of the south had considerable success. Six flying bombs fell from concentrations of shell bursts. Bomber Command Lancasters, under fighter cover, to-day without loss attacked flying bomb installations in Northern France.
