GOOD WORK DONE
THE SPITFIRE MARK XI
Rec. 1 p.m.
RUGBY, July 12
"The fastest aircraft of its type in the world," is the description given by pilots to the Spitfire Mark XI. It has participated in some of the most oustanding photographic sorties made over enemy territory, notably the photographing of the breaching of the Mohne and Eder dams, and the Berlin bomb damage. This Spitfire also played a prominent part in the preinvasion sorties and obtained a vast amount of advance information about enemy movements and dispositions, which proved invaluable to our invading forces. More recently still, it has brought back vital pictures of flyingbomb and rocket bomb sites, which have been subsequently attacked with considerable success by British and American bombers.—B.O.W.
