Only eight of their own planes were lost yesterday as the Allies kept up their pulverizing attacks against Axis dispositions. As usual, /lying fortresses led the way.
Raiding Palermo, Sicily, the big bombers encountered swarms of enemy fighters and in a 20-minute running fight shot down 10 of them.
