Show Gun's Range Is So Great It Needs Fighter 'Eyes' ALLIED SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, HEADQUAR-TERS, LONDON. The Americans have several new secret weapons to use in their march to Berlin, Maj. Gen. Harry Benton Sayler, chief ordnance ord-nance officer for the European theater, the-ater, disclosed. Among them, he said, is a gun with a range so great that the usual low-speed observation planes are useless as "eyes" for it and regular fighters will be used instead. "We recently opened fire for the first time with the longer range weapon against German headquarters," headquar-ters," Sayler said. "A pursuit plane was used for observation. The fliers saw the German personnel trying to get away in cars and went down and shot them up." |
