5. Aims of German Air Force.
 
      
 
 
Attacks on this country by German Air Force have lately been 
      directed against aerodromes of Royal Air Force. Long range bombers 
      have played a small part in these attacks. It would, therefore, 
      appear that immediate aim is to obtain, even at great cost, air 
      superiority over Great Britain by use of short range bombers 
      and fighters, relying upon greater numbers to draw our fighter 
      defences. Long range bombers could then operate in force by day 
      against industry and ports with little interference.
 
      
 
 
6. Attacks on trade. Although attacks were made on 2 convoys 
      yesterday and 4 other ships were bombed, there were no casualties 
      beyond slight damage to one ship of 2,500 tons.
