Photography In Air Raids.

Photography, of course, is playing an ever-increasing part in the aerial reconnoissance. It is now one of the prime means of ascertaining the accuracy with which bomb dropping is attended. Contrary to the general idea, when a place is to be bombarded the process does not consist merely of a few plucky airmen piloting their machines to the neighborhood and taking big risks to try to get in a lucky shot before returning. The Are that follows the dropping of each bomb is photographed by aircraft from above, so that a permanent record is made concerning the places actually damaged. Nothing is left to guesswork.— H.
