full dress rehearsal recently when
the old battleship Agamemnon was
attacked by four different types Of
airplanes. A total of $50 dummy
bombs were thrown from the air. Out
of forty eight dropped from close

were only three misses. At the 5000

white smoke, SO that in two minutes
the Agamemnon was wrapped in
smoke from end to end and looked as
