Show BIG BOMBS ARE NOW USED OVER GERMANY As the great Anglo-American aerial offensive proceeds to blast German production centers, the weight and destructive capacity of bombs gradually increase. The first two-ton bombs were used by the British on July 8, 1942 against Wilhelmshaven. This was considered the last word in explosive explo-sive effect but it was followed, in less than two months by four-ton bombs, which fell on Karlsruhe and, sometime later, on Eerlin. The latest information from London is that a six-ton bomb has been employed against German factories for more than a month. So destructive is the explosive that the pilots are carefully briefed and given strict orders to bring back the bombs if they are not sure of hitting the specified target. |
