LONDON, Aug. 10.—One hundred
and fifteen German and British air
planes were downed in one day’s
fighting in the air and five German
observation balloons were shot down
in flames, according to an official
communique on aviation issued here
tocay.
Forty-eight German machines were
destroyed and scventeen others were
driven down out of control.
Fifty British machines were report
ed missing.
British airmen rendered splendid
co-operation with the infantry at the
opening of the big counter offensive
on the Picardy front o# Thursday.
Planes were used for supplying the
advanced troops with ammunition
during the fighting. The airmen as
sisted the tanks also.
The text of the official statement
reads:
“On August 8 our airplane squad
rons co-operated with other arms on
the battle front throughout the day.
“The line reached by our attacking
infantry was reported by our contact
airplgnes.
Keep Artillery Informed.
“The positions of the hostile artil
lery in actionfand columns of Ger
man infantry and transport on the
march were signalled to our guns by
our artillery machines.
“Other machines supplied out ad
vanced troops with ammunition from
the air,
“Co-operation with the tanks was
carried out systematically.
“Our machines assisted the tank
crews with information, attacked Ger- 1
man strong points and other enemy
opposition with bombs and machine
gunfire.
“Smoke bombs were dropped along
the line of their advance, which help
ed to conceal the approach of the
tanks from the enemy.
“Our contact machines, working
with the cavalry, rendered valuable
service. Flying low in front of our
advancing line, our fighting sguad
rcns shot at and bombed the enemy
during his retreat, causing havoc
among the masses of hostile troops
and transports on the roads con
gested with traffic.
“Our bombing squadrons, flying a
few hundred feet above the ground,
attacked trains, railway junctions
and bridges.
~ 48 Huns Destroyed.
“Forty-eight hostile machines are
recorded as £estroyed by our air
planes and venteen others were
driven down out of control. Five
hostile balloons were shot down in
flames., Fifty of our machines are
missing.
“Most of these casualties were due
to fire from the ground. .
“One of our night flying machines
failed to return.
“On August 9 our airmen continued
their work of co-operation with
British infantry, artillery, cavalry
and tanks on the battle front.
“German troops and transports
again were attacked with bombs and
machine gun fire from a low alti
tude whenever a suitable target of
fered itself,
