One of the twelve enemy aircraft brought down while raiding this country on July 24 was an American dive bomber, a Chance Voight 156, which had evidently been captured from the French. Such planes may soon be flown by British pilots in their raids over Germany. Only a few days earlier one of our Hurricanes shot down a Messerschmitt 110 over the English Channel, which was probably the first Nazi fighter to be used against Britain as a bomber. It was designed as a twin-engine fighter, and by converting it into a bomber both its range and striking power must have been sacrificed, since the long-range tanks and probably the rear guns also would have been removed. August 1940
