Bombing Difficulties

Tactics of a fighter pilot engaged miles above the earth and near the limit of his ceiling necessarily differ from those which he would employ in action at lower level. The margin of height which will give him advantage over his opponent can be contrived and maintained only by the most skilful handling of the controls.

To the bomb-aimer, also, high altitude flying presents its own special difficulties, From an aircraft travelling 200 miles per hour at a height of 20,000 feet, the bomb has to be released two and a half miles in advance of the target.

We purchase all kinds of blackwood high-class furniture, carpets, pianos, typewriters, radios, household effects, damaged metals and godown stock at a fair price. We also sell the above-mentioned goods at the lowest prices. (Only a little profit is added on the cost of what we purchased.) Apply to the Chesterfield Art Secondhand Goods Store, 1469 Bubbling Well Road, telephone 36334.
