AERIAL WARFARE.
GERMANS OUTCLASSED.
London, Oct. 18. The “Times” correspondent at British headquarters on the western front, dealing with the air service in the Transloy battle, says that the aeroplanes were again magnificent, British machines continually circled the enemy’s lines, ignoring the constant fusillading of the anti-aircraft guns. One airman tackled a number of enemy machines and brought down three. Next day he accounted for one and the following day for two. All were over enemy territory. During the last day three Germans flew out o' an aerodrome and attacked the Britisher, who brought down one and chased off the others. Similar feats were performed by other airmen, and we destroyed 16 machines in three days.
