Unique records have been made of incidents In the air war on Britain, thanks to a device perfected by British inventors. Even at midnight. it is now pos- sible, without the und of flash, to take photographs as sharp- cut as any on a sunny day.

It is done by using, instead of the usual flash-bulbs, special bulbs sergened with infra-red Alter cont ings which turn the dazzling magne- sium flash into a dlm red momentary glow, invisible from the air.

The invention, regarded by photo- graphers as one of the biggest ad- vances since the invention of the. dry plate, has revolutionised night photography: It has further applica tions for aerial and land survey work, spectrography, clinical photo- igraphy and psychical research
