GERMANS DOWNED
FIGHTING IN THE AIR HURRICANES IN ACTION# DIVE-BOMBERS RETREAT (Reed. Nov. 26, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 24. The Cairo correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain states that Hurricanes on Saturday badly handled a German force comprising 30 dive-bombers, escorted by 30 fighters, and shot down eight and damaged many. The remainder jettisoned their bombs and fled. The aeronautical correspondent of The Times says that the safety and mobility of the Royal Air Force squadrons is considerably increased by the employment of their own armoured car companies which protect transports taking supplies to new aerodromes. Reconnaissance flights over a period of months searched out tracts of country suitable for advanced landing fields and as ground forces advance Royal Air Force fighter squadrons are able to accompany them.
