THE AERIAL COMBAT.

LIETJTENANT WAKNEFORD'S

EXPERIENCE.

(Received June 11, 0.10 a.m.)

London, June 10.

Two airmen who accompanied Lieutenant Warneford left him in order to bomb Eveve. Lieutenant Warneford continued alone, and sighted the Zeppelin at a height of GOOO feet. He got above it and then dropped: to wjthut fifty feet, and loosed his bombs. The .sixth struck the envelope fair and square- in the middle. Instantly there was a terrific explosion, and the displacement of air was so gveat that it seemed like a tornado.

"My machine was tossed" upwards/ A nid Lieutenant WarneforcL "and then it was flung upside down. I was forced to loop tho loop despite myself, and I though the end of everything had come. In the whirl I had the pleasure of seeing the Zeppelin falling in a cloud of flame and smoke. Then by a miracle the aeroplane righted itself and came to the ground."
