GERMANS CLAIM §-FOOT BOMBING

Close to Ground Attack Foiled Guns, Says | Nazi Reporter.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28 (U. P).—| The German wireless yesterday described an attack on an airdrome in the London suburbs carried out by new Dornier bombers which flew at a height “of only six feet” above the ground in order to escape devastating British anti-aircraft fire The wireless quoted a war report- | er who accompanied the flight as saying “we swept so close to the ground over South Britain. following every mould in the ground, brushing over trees and hedges that the crew of one plane brought back the leaves of an English tree which hit the plane and shattered the glass of the cabin.” The report asserted the Dorniers attacked without protection of fighter planes and alleged that the airdrome was devastated. After the attack, the report said, a superior formation of British fighters attacked the German planes, Killing a German flight captain.
