Drop TWO and Fit Away; When Fritz
Settles Down, Wake Him

Behind the British Lines In France
lone of the most exciting tasks to
which airmen are assigned is "desul-
tory bombing" over one spot for an
hour or more. The object is to dis
tract the attention of the antiaircraft
defenders of a given district.
A machine carrying a dozen or more
bombs Is employed for the work. The
airman, a pilot and an observer APP
proach their target cautiously. With
engines throttied down, the craft glides
nearer and nearer.
Below all is quiet. No German
searchlights are sweeping the sky.
When the attackers are almost owe
their object q rocket rises and bursts
into u cluster of red stars.
The machine has been discovered.
AT nee six on eve searchlights throw
their beams aloft. The pilot looks at
his watch 1t is time to begin bombing.
He flies steadily on, although a bar
a & OF bursting shells lies now In
front OF him. The observer looks
through the wires of his bomb sight.
He thrusts his lever forward and re-
leases two bombs. A few seconds
later he sees the fash of their explo.
sions, and hears two dull roars. He
signals to the pilot and the machine
sweeps away from the fiery ring OF
shells and searchlights.
A few mil Is away the airplane file,
to and fro ut top speed. The puzzled
searehlights vainly feel the sky In al
directions and then, one by one, ar,
switched off.
Then the pilot quickly returns to
ward the target. Another bomb Il
dropped. AS 1t explodes the search
lights reappear and the barrage is re
newed, while through the shell burst
are threaded the chains of green fam
Ing globes 40 much used by the Ger
mans.
Again the machine flies away an,
this time I'd bewilder the soldiers be

fades out. All the searchlights folio,

Repeated y the airmen return to tn
attack. Bombs are dropped at inter
walls until the end of the hour, whe
the machine departs, pickering fire
and clouds Of smoke telling Of tn
havoc wrou ght by the bombs.
