SHOCK FOR NAZIS.
BRITISH AIR STRENGTH. OPTIAIISM AT HOME. Per Press Association. , AUCKLAND, Aug. 26. The deep conviction that the Germans will be unable to break down the spirit of the British 1 people despite the continuous bombing raids and attempts at a food blockade was expressed by Mr E. P. B. Curtiss, of London, who is visiting New. Zealand with his wife and family. He was a major in the last war and served for a long period with the Air Force. He has been an eyewitness of many “dog-fights” over England in the past few weeks. “There is no pessimism at Home,” Air Curtiss declared. “We owe our good stocks of food in Britain to the Dominions. We can never forget what they have done and are doing.” What he had seen of the air combats had convinced liim of the superiority of ' the British pilots and machines. The Nazis must have received a severe shock when' they found wliat they were up against. H» specially paid a tribute to tlie Dominion fliers. ‘ - Airs Curtiss was formerly Miss Ruby Dawson, of Dunedin.
