THE SUCCESSFUL HUNTING by British destroyers of German submarines goes on ruthlessly, and the dread of every U-boat is the depth charge. Here H.M.S. “Essex” is seen steaming away at full speed after dropping a charge, which is shown exploding. MEN WHO MATTER IN THE R.A.F.—Apart from the pilots, gunners, aerial photographers, observers and wireless operators, who form the crews of these British reconnaissance flying boats, the mechanics are the men who make it possible for these machines to function efficiently during their arduous patrol and observation duties. Here, mechanics are at work overhauling and refuelling a machine ready for the next flight.
