1A is FLAK[E] "brings down jeTs, not Jews
1D is FOSS, I think, which would "debaR" invasion
Still thinking about 10D
Would appreciate help on 26A and 27D

How are you doing with the 12 misprint letters barretter? I must be some short as I only have T P P S T R A N , with only 10d left to fillin

now TOP P S T R A N

Thanks for those. There is a misprint in 4ac : it should be "fOrmer" not farmer. in 12ac "males" should be "mUles". These give you "top" and "up" and the third is "strange" but I can't find the G and E yet. Following on from last week these are all types of tiny particles. The quotation is from the source of the name of these particles.

10D is uses with misprint of p in pear making gear.
