Show Sliooiing Down Gsraaa Planes An official Br. tish compilation reports that 444 German planes weie shot down over Britain dur-ng dur-ng 1940 by fire from ground guns. This seems to establish the valise of the anti-aircralt guns regardless of the number oi rounds fired to accomplish the result. Certainly, if 444 German planes were shot out of the sky by guns en tiie ground there is no reason .0 doubt but that the "archies'' have much to do with keeping tne flying ships high .n the air, where nc:r aiming is less effective. |
