GERMAN-OCCUPIED WIRELESS STATION ATTACKED BY THE ROYAL AIR FORCE: During one of the daily sweeps by the Royal Air Force over the German-occupied French coast, a wireless station was attacked by three Spitfires. Shells from the cannon of these famous British aircraft caused an explosion which set the wireless station ablaze, and in spite of intense gun fire they circled low over the station and completely put out of action one of the gun nests This authentic artist’s impression shows the Spitfires in action.
