Germans Fire Rockets
(Rec. 3.45 p.m.) RUGBY. Aug. 23. The crews of Fortresses. which raided Regensburg last week and then flew to Africa, have returned. Some say they were under fighter attack for three and a half hours and the Germans used every kind of plane. They also tried something new—large t win-engined planes, which.fired rockets at the Fortresses. One pilot said three Fortresses were shot down around his plane. Many German fighters were- also destroyed. The pilot of one Fortress flew over the Alps with one engine out of order and landed with 30 holes in his piano.
