A NAZI RAIDER GOES DOWN IN FLAMES.—This remarkable photograph shows a Heinkel 111 with flames billowing from the engine, petrol tank and fuselage, falling to earth after receiving its death blow from a British fighter. In order to secure pictures such as this (which can be of valuable assistance in the training of pilots in air marksmanship) small cine cameras have been fitted into the wings of some British fighters, the mechanism being co-ordinated with the machineguns.
