' Ofrcial U.S. Army Photograph Greatly increases accuracy in future bombing attacks is forecast in this remarkable, Just-released photo of guided bombs at work. Taken from 10,000 ft.' during a test raid on a Jap-held bridge late in the war, it shows three guided bombs, called Azon, bursting squarely on target. To left, standard bombs simultaneously released explode wide of bridge; and scores of craters testify to failure of previous standard bomb attacks. Developed by Gulf Oil research for the Air Forces, Azon bombs are steered by the bombardier through radios in their tails right onto the target. Introduced in final stages of the war, guided bombs have since been improved. The Razon bomb, an advance over Azon, has been developed, adding still further precision to U.S. ' airpower. |
