While! British peopte were talking peace, cutting down armaments and preparing to lead the world in all kind3 of rxfoace cesiures. the Germans were bufldinz ud their aii force, training their men and breoarinc for the present war. In addition to that they had the experience of the Polish invasion before the British got into the fight. Even then, it took the British some time to get really started on the preparations which might prove effective in such a war as that now bejhg conducted. In fact Germany had such a lead that it was feared by many tha1 she might prove invincible. Evidently, Hitler thought he was invincible and the world was inclined to the same opinion. Then came the real war. The British went in for intensive traming and the Canadians also were begin-) ning to cross the ocean to take part It was soon fount that the British Were much more effective in the air, man) for man, but ihe Germans had the great advantage of numbers. Also she had the co-operation of Italy with, another large air fof ce. It seemed Jike terrible odds but 1 each day that passed showed increased British eff ective ; hess, feven though there W'as still a disparity of numbers It was at the evacuation of Dunkirk that the air force first showed its real effectiveness. It seeme:! like th turning point in British fortunes. From that time o: there was a change until today the British mastery of the air is so great that it has Hitler worried. Only re cenlly the German broadcast announced that only in one night in four months was there no air raid Warning KoUnded In Essen where the famous Krupp works are located, the Germans are" getting more than blow for blow and the supply of British planes is still increasing. The big air victory of Sunday was an outstanding one and indicates to the World that the Germans can hope for nothing in the way of victory from iVs air bombardments.
