London, Jan. 14 (AP)—
RAF Mosqnitos bombed western Germany last night, the British announced today as American intelligence officers worked to compile a final accounting of Tuesday's epic sky battle over the reich—a struggle now known to have cost the Nazis 152 fighters and seriously damaged three enemy aircraft factories. It was the first time the Mosquitos had been out since Monday night, when they bombed Berlin. The specific objectives of last night's raid, from which one plane failed to return, were not immediately disclosed.
The air ministry also announced that RAF Typhoons and fighters had shot down eight enemy planes yesterday in. the course of offensive patrols over northern Prance. One Typhoon was lost in these forays.
Fresh details meanwhile continued to trickle in on Tuesday's great American day light raid on Germany.
An official late yesterday increased enemy fightr losses from 100 In a tabulation "not yet complete," crediting bomber gunners with 125 and fighters with 27, and gave new details of damage to plants that spawn a great proportion of Nazi warplancs.
.The actual number of enemy fighters that fell before the blazing guns of the 700 American bombers and 500 escorting planes, however may never be known.
