west to east. My second pilot was flying the aircraft and I was doing the bomb-aiming. By this time we were down to 8,000ft. and I could clearly see the outside of the works.

Perhaps I ought just to explain here, very briefly, how the bomb- ing is done. The bomb-aimer is lying flat on his face in the nose of the aircraft, looking down through a large glass panel which takes the place of the floor. Al- lowances have to be made on the bomb sight for the speed and direction of the wind, the height and speed of the aircraft, and so on. Then, when the target comes in line with the pointers on the fore and back sight, the bomb- aimer presses the firing switch- and down they go.

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 the

a

films. The first four large ox- plosions were followed by keries of ́ smaller "explosions.

Two huge fires started and great tongues of flame leaped up

- I estimated that they must have been rising to 1,500ft.-then dense clouds of smoke began to pour out. It was the most terrific-sight I have ever seen. The bombs had fallen about 60 yards apart. :: Al- most immediately the fires and explosiona seemed to link up, and for a distance of 200 yards through the "works there was this great | mass of flameś, /**

Next I saw our incendiaries falling on the western edge of the plant. They take longer to get down than the heavy bombs. What part of the works they hit I don't know, but I could see large clus- | ters of brilliant coloured flashes on the ground. In the light of the explosions 1'had seen momentarily two long buildings and a tower. Then the aircraft passed over, and I could not see any more from the front, but the rear gunner sald he saw one of the buildings collapse in Dames.
