The bomb-aimer is lyng.flat on his face in the nose of the aircraft, looking down through a large glass panel which takes the place of the floor.

Terrific Sight
On this occasion when the bombs burst there were four huge explosions across the works. : I think that the first one must have hit a gasometer; so far as I could see there was no other explana- tion for what happened.'
There was a violent eruption upwards and outwards. It re- minded me of a scene on thei films. The first four large ox-| plosions were followed by ¦
