Enemy Armies Staggering under blows from the air.
THE Tactical Flir Force acting in the closest co-operation with the Allied Land Armies, has been striking telling blows against the enemy.
One force, which has been working ahead of the American columns thrusting into the Saar pocket on the Western Front, flew 7,000 sorties in dawn-to-dusk attacks. Rail transport was the chief objective and in the course of the day the planes accounted for a total of 6.000 freight trucks. This figure also includes a number of locomotives destroyed.
