Mr Massey reports that our air service in Palestine maintains complete mastery of the air. During the past few weeks we destroyed 11 enemy machines and drove down six. All save one fell in the Turkish lines, showing that we hive to seek out the enemy, who avoids combat as much as possible. The Australians share in the air honours, and in a recent encounter two Australian machines accounted for five our of seven attacking machines.
