Mounting Losses Signal Rising Allied Air Might
Washington reports that higher losses among Allied heavy bombers in Europe paradoxically indicate growing air power. Officers say Britain and the United States are sending larger aerial armadas to strike Germany and occupied Europe, despite higher plane losses. In July the 8th Air Force lost 108 heavy bombers while dropping 3,600 tons of bombs and downing 503 enemy planes, showing a rising loss rate but also greater output.
