CANADIAN BOMBER STATION
IN ENGLAND (By MaiD iD.-Broken
parapets of glaring white light. three
or four miles high, form semicircles
at night around Germany's chief
industrial cities.
They flash up suddenly out Of dim
moonlight in the faces Of night
bomber pilots. They can best be
described, these flyers say, as enor-
nous white walls towering into the
stars.
Such wall, they say. looks actually
solid. It seems as if a plane was
about to be smashed In q collision
with it. The wall is formed by sew
eral hundred powerful searchlights
arranged in groups around the out
skirts Of the city. There is little
possibility Of jumping over it. But
usually in such q wall there are 20
or more narrow dark gaps, like gaps
In q farmers fence. the location Of
which is always shifting. The trick
is to stall for a few moments until
such a convenient gap appears and
then try to dash through 1t before
1t closes.
Blue Lights Rove. p.
Apparently. the pilots say. the
searchlights are arranged in groups
Of about Is. They try at first to keep
up on one part of the sky when a
plane is spotted.
Over the face Of this wall Of white
light move gigantic fingers of blueish
light. the pilots say. These are the
master beams, feeling their way over
the sky to locate a plane. Each
master beam, 1t is believed, controls
two or three groups Of searchlights
and the arrangement is such that
they swing automatically as soon as
it indicates the presence Of some
thing In the sky.
The blue fingers constantly are
crossing and recrossing the gaps.
They move quickly and in no pre-
dictable pattern. Once q bomber is
caught by one Of them it is coned
by its teams Of searchnghts and
becomes the target Of hose streams
Of flax from the anti-aircraft guns.
The caught plane is in a desperate
situation. but its predicament leaves
a larger gap in the wall through
which other bombers can dart in on
their target.
One Way to Escape.
There is only cne way of escape
for the coned plane and its success
depends both on the skill Of the
pilot and lot Of luck. Efforts to
dodge out Of the lights are useless
because they are following the craft
automatically and can move faster.
The usual procedure is to dive
straight into the cone, in the face
OF the flax. 1t sometimes is possible
actually to dive out Of it. usually
with several hundred flax holes In
the wings and fuselage, level of
and get away.
The wall of light, say members OF
the bomber crews. Is an imagination-
stirring sight, however sinister it
may be- There Is constant variation,
both in the wall itself and in the
moving blue fingers. Sergt. c. w.
G. Burke, 2517 Third street NE,
Washington, member of one of the
Royal Canadian Air Force bomber
crews stationed here, was telling the
other day Of what is perhaps the
most effective Of all these titantic
sky parapets-that which guards the
northern approaches to Essen.
