London, Apr. 17.
"The German high command falsely alleges that five British aircraft were lost yesterd: the Air Ministry announces. it is claimed that two Lockheeds were shot down in attacks on Stavanger and that a Sunderland flying boat was destroyed. No aircraft was lost in any of yesterday's attacks on Stavanger and no flying boat is missing. Two of our aircraft which were engaged in reconnaissance over the North Sea yesterday have not returned.""—Reuter.
