To the Editor of the "Nortu-Cuma Dany News"
Sm,—One of the records for amateurish exaggeration, to which you referred in a short editorial yesterday, must have been the report of the eight heavy Chinese bombers who, at a height of 3,000 metres, "heavily bombed Japanese craft below, four of which were reported sunk and one badly damaged." Three thousand metres is nearly 10,000 fect, not far short of two miles.
After watching the many unsuccessful efforts to bomb the Idzumo at a tenth of this height, the sinking of four warships in one attack by eight, bombers flying at this unusual height is an event not to be lightly passed over.
GUNNER.
