MAPS SENT BY PLANE
SUPPLYING THE N.Z. DIVISION Official N.Z.E.F. War Correspondent ADIGE RIVER, April 28. For the first time in the history of the New Zealand Division maps were dropped from a plane yesterday over our divisional headquarters near the Adige River. The speed of our troops' advance was such that when maps had to be sent immediately from corps to divisional headquarters, a tiny artillery spotting plane wa,s commissioned to do the job. The pilot circled once or twice over divisional headquarters, acknowledged a recognition sign, and dropped maps within a few yards of where they were wanted.
