The Independent Air Force has had a very busy week
in Germany, especially in Baden and Wurttemberg. Our airmen visited Offen- burg by night on Thursday week and Monday and in daylight on Tuesday. They attacked Stuttgart by night on Monday and again on Tuesday, setting the station on fire, and also bombed Baden and Rastatt. On Wednesday morning they made a raid on the big station at Coblonz. The same day two of our formations attacked Saarbrileken. One of them had exceptional ill-luok in encountering many enemy scouts and lost seven machines before its task was
ended. Our long-distance bombers hitherto have had few casualties. It must be remembered, however, that if the enemy retains largb squadrons of scouts -for home defence, he will have fewer machines to use on the battle-front, where he needs them most.
