London, Oct. 3. mighty German Air Force is in grave danger of falling out of date, writes Reuter's air correspondent from an R.A.F. research station where experts find daily proof of this in broken German warplanes.
Moreover instead of rushing new types into service the G mans are being forced to improve old types in an effort to keep. them going in the battle of Britain, states the correspondent.
That this should be so in the face of the R.A.F/s outstanding victory over the German Air Force is held to be of great significance. Germany is known to have certain new types in production but the RAF. cle has gained an important lead which it is confidently expected will be maintained with the new fighters and bombers now about to take the air.
Examination' of types of German y and night aircraft reveals imtion in armaments and armour.
Experts agree that there is nothing wrong with the aircraft as aeroplanes but as warplanes they are slipping into obsolescence.
The Junkers 88 for example—a fast bomber which bears with the Dornier 215 the brunt of day attacks on Britain—has additional guns of the latest models to compensate for its previously proved inadequate protection. Incidentally one of these machines recently brought down left the manufacturing plant on August 7.
