The Royal Air Force pictures are the nest serial reconnaissance photo- graphs I have seen, and their sharp- neas und rope are remarkable, says an acromilical correspondent,

Some of them bear evidence having been taken from heights of only 2,000, or 3,000ft., whereas the German pletures of British bases were all taken from a great height.

The photograph in so clear that detail of engines and adrerews ean be sem, and the picture (*) almost be described as an "intimate" view of the base.

Many of the German aerodromes far from the lines are not well camouflaged. In one there is even the sign of the circle, which is the pence-lime landing ground.symbol.
