Eight enemy Messerschmitt ME 109 planes were destroyed

Eight enemy Messerschmitt ME 109 planes were destroyed and two damaged by Allied fighters in two sorties over Tripolitania. In the first sortie an R.A.F. squadron found the enemy strafing our forward troops. They attacked immediately and shot down five fighters and damaged another. The second sortie destroyed three of the enemy and damaged one. All our aircraft returned safely.
