Quotes New Figures Re Nazi Airmen

MONTREAL, June l0 —-(CP)— Hilary A. St. George Saunders. assistant librarian of the British House of Commons and Britain's official war historian, pulled a note- book from his pocket today and cited to interviewers figures to back up his contention that the Nazi air force no longer is cap- able of seriously damaging British industry.

"I have to read thmc figures or else I'm sure to get them wrong." joked Mr. saunders, who is the

author of Combined Operations, the G

Battle of Britain and other British Government publications on the war. "I don't believe they have been published as yet."

Mr. Saunders said the figuru. for the six~months period ended last April, show that of every mid- inf; party sent against the British Isles by the Nazis. 12.6 per cent was destroyed.

He flipped through the pages of his little red book. "Here's some- thing interesting." he commented. "The average life of a German pilot flying in the direction cf England is eight trips."

"What happens on trip?" a reporter asked.

Mr. Saunders, mad» a downward flir) with his hand, "That's his last trip. He's shot dovlln."

He noted that since i940 British ninht fighters have improved by 500 per cent.
