(August 16, 1918, evening. Continued.) Aviation. Aerial combats were not numerous yesterday. Four hostile
machines were shot down by our aviators and two balloons brought down in flames. Five German machines were forced
to land disabled. One of ours is missing. During the day our air forces carried out numerous reconnaissances and obser-
vation missions in liaison with the artillery. During the last 24 hours we dropped 22'/ 2 tons of bombs. Two German
airdromes were violently bombarded, as well as several depots and railway junctions. All of our bombing machines have
returned.
