Ho is on the front page. which includes the cartoon above, telling "What German the Airmen Have Done to Hood." (Yes, they're still tell- ing that me!)

there are sixteen Chur- chill pictures on the back page, each showing him in a different hat. Last there is the cartoon below, showing him gasping -as ho sues great British battleships sunk by German bombers.

Somewhere near that hidden fleklj ringed with anti-aircraft batteries to deal with enemy aircraft at all: hebts, the Royal Air Force and the British Expeditionary Force inarry their separate functions.

Less than one hour after he is back the mobile developing unit, parked in the yard of the factory, has delivered scores of different photographs from each roll of film that he has taken. Each print overlaps the next, so that by pinning a series of prints together as the right place it is possible to gel a long aerial map of whatever course the pilot has flown. This is called a "mosaic."
