BRITAIN NOW IN LEAD

AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION j DESPERATE GERMAN AIiACKS i ! U.P.A.-By Electric Telegraph-Copyright | LONDON, 3rd December. ■ The belief that German; had realised ; that at all costs she must check British : aircraft production was expressed by j the British Broadcasting Corporation’s j air observer, Mr Oliver Stewart, today. This was reflected in the heavy attacks recently on British industrial areas, he added. Mr Stewart said Germany knew that British output now exceeded her own and that her numerical superiority would be swept aside unless she could check British output. But she had not succeeded in doing so. Whereas Germany’s output had been seriously checked by bombing, said Mr Stewart, that of Britain had been subject to only slight checks, and production in the Dominions and the United States was increasing.
