I 



A wonderful photograph taken from a French airplane while bombing a German factory in 

 Lorraine. Seven bombs may be seen in the air, all released together by the same machine 



with tail planes to make it fly straight — 

 a tail which has the same effect on the 

 bomb as the tail feathers have on an 

 arrow. In addition there is a "pro- 

 peller" to sensitize the percussion fuse 

 during the bomb's fall. 



Particular attention is directed to the 

 extraordinary photograph which shows 

 seven bombs flying through the air after 

 ha\'ing been released nearly simultane- 

 ously. They do not drop. They liter- 



ally rush through the air like naval 

 torpedoes, thereby to a certain extent 

 justifying their alias. Released from a 

 machine which is traveling at a speed of 

 ninety miles an hour, they necessarily 

 have, for a time, the forward motion of 

 that machine and actually travel hori- 

 zontally. Realizing all this, their de- 

 signers gave them an ideal streamline 

 form. In the picture only the lowest 

 bombs have begun to turn downward
