From the time this country entered the war until last ' July 1, the high explosive bomb tonnage totaled 677,012. ' ; In the European theatre alone, . there was a 500-per cent increase in the bomb tonnage between Jan uary and June this year, a total 6f 405,2 12 tons going down on continental targets in that time. Of that total, the 8th. and 10th air forces operating out of England and from Normandy fields drop ped 243,402 tons, with the Medi terranean-based forces accounting for .the4 balance. Explaining the drastic upward revision in bomb 'requirements during the last few months. Brig. Gen. R. C. Coup- land, air ordnance officer, said: . IWe have met less fighter op position than we originally ex . pected, and our attacks on the German aircraft industry have been highly successful.
