EXPLOIT

GERMAN ARMY IS HELD IN THE CENTRE OF SOUTHERN SERBIA AS A RE- SULT OF THE SUCCESSFUL BOMBING BY THE R.A.F. OF A BRIDGE ACROSS THE VARDAR RIVER AT VERLES.

The story of how hell-diving British bom- bers carried out this hazardous task shows that the exploit ranks with other epic attacks on strategic points in this war such as that on the bridge at Maestricht. In one respect it differs from similar feats of heroism as all the British aircraft returned safely.
