BARRAGE BY BOMB has almost entirely replaced barrage by artillery-fire in modern warfare. This picture, taken from a war aeroplane flying at a high altitude above the Barcelona district of Spain, shows Spanish Government positions being subjected to heavy bombing by Nationalist aircraft. Though it is obvious that the bombers were flying high, the line of the smoke-clouds indicates the accuracy of the barrage, aimed at a line of infantry entrenchments along a hillside. Recent cables have reported many casualties from aerial raids in this district.
