Aircraft manufactured in the United States have been used as bombers in the North African campaign for the first time. They participated in an air bombardment on enemy positions around Fort Capuzzo on the afternoon of May 18, it was revealed by the news service of the Air Ministry last night.
Heavy bombs were dropped on German tanks and mechanized vehicles dispersed near the old Capuzzo aerodrome. The squadron in question has an American citizen on its normal roll. He is a sergeant air-gunner, who received the Distinguished Flying Medal for gallantry in the Abyssinian campaign—Reuter.
