ROYAL AIR FORCE
MANY DOMINION PILOTS GREAT VICTORIES ACHIEVED [U.P.A.-By Electric Telegraph-Copyright] (Received 24th October, 12.50 p.m.) LONDON, 23rd October. Mr G. Balfour, Parliamentary Undersecretary to the Colonial Office, in a speech said: “Never has a force proved a greater challenge to the powers of a Nazi evil than the R.A.F. There has never been a force with stronger claims to be an overseas force. Twenty per cent, of the pilots were from the Dominions before the war and to-day the proportion is higher. The first Eagle Squadron of volunteers from the United States was recently formed. Our squadrons daily fight alongside Polish, Czech and the Free French forces. The R A.F. in the past two months has achieved great victories.”
