BRITISH TRIUMPH
SAFETY OF AIR BASES GERMAN EFFORT FAILS ROYAL AIR FORCE SUCCESS (Official Wireless) (Received Sept. 17, 3.15 p.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 16 Sunday’s triumph of the Royal Air Force demonstrated very definitely the failure of the great effort by the German Air Force to drive Royal Air Force fighters from their bases in the south-eastern coastal areas. Not one of these bases has had to be abandoned permanently, although some have suffered severe damage from time*to time. The number of German machines brought down day after day over the south-eastern coastal districts is sufficient evidence of the efficiency of the Royal Air Force bases in that area.
