These planes protect British homes and industries from aerial attack and harass enemy shipping and transport. When enemy bombers approach Britain, the fighters go up to drive them away. Here is a Kenya fighter plane shooting down an enemy bomber over one of Britain's industrial towns. Kenya fighter planes also take part in offensive sweeps over enemy-occupied territory and cause much damage to shipping and transport and communications with their machine-gun fire. Kenya fighters protect Allied merchant ships from hostile aircraft. Many vital cargoes have reached port only because of the watchful presence of fighter planes. Thank you, Kenya! Other war gifts from Kenya include contributions to His Majesty's Government for the prosecution of the war, mobile canteens, subscriptions for British Red Cross and St. John Fund, Air Raid Relief, King George's Fund for Sailors, Aid to Russia Fund, Bombed Babies, and other war funds.
