HC Deb 08 October 1941 vol 374 c962
13. Squadron-Leader Hulbert

asked the Secretary of State for Air what is the total number of enemy bombers destroyed over this country and France during September; and how many enemy fighters were destroyed, or probably destroyed, in the same period over the same area?

Sir A. Sinclair

An analysis of British official communiqués shows that 123 enemy fighters and 11 enemy bombers were destroyed on the Western Front during September. It is not the practice to publish numbers of enemy aircraft classified as probably destroyed which, however, are often considerable.
