Amazing Photograph of R.A.F. Raid on Nazi Aerodrome
THE RAID YESTERDAY ON KIEL makes this exclusive photograph topical. Taken from an RA.F. nireraft of the Bomber Command during an actual raid, it shows the accuracy of our bombers. Salvos of high explosive bombs aimed at the runway of the Nazi aerodrome can be seen bursting right on the target. Bomb craters which pit runway and surrounding area testify to the severity of the bombing to which the enemy has been subjected recently. Enemy aircraft, many of them badly damaged, are distributed round the edge of the aerodrome.
