I rely on you for more Bombers now, at once. My crews are waiting for them; they are trained and ready to take off for Germany and Italy the moment they get the Bombers from the Factories. The magnificent Bombers you have sent to us have already hit the enemy so hard that we are on the road to victory. You get cracking and we can get cracking; between us we can get the Axis cracking - until we bust it wide open. A.T. Harris Air Marshal R.A.F. YOU and the R.A.F. can smash Germany Printed for H.M.
