ENEMY AIRCRAFT
ALLIES’ RECORD BAG. AUDACIOUS RAIDS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. 1 LONDON, April 21. In a week-end of glorious achievement the Allies have collected a record bag of 12, possibly 14, Nazi ’planes of which the French accounted for two and British fighters brought down the majority. Several times British Hurricanes slipped over German territory, tackling the enemy almost within sight of their own aerodromes. A Belgian Government communique reports that foreign ’planes which flew over their territory yesterday and today have been identified as English anti German. The Government has protested to Berlin and London. Belgian anti-aircraft guns fired on a foreign ’plane over Liege.
