Description
MUCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN LATELY OF THE ACTIVITY OF AUSTRALIAN FIGHTER-BOMBER SQUADRONS OPERATING IN THE WESTERN DESERT. THE ADDITION OF A FIVE HUNDRED POUND BOMB TO THE KITTYHAWK'S DESTRUCTIVE POWER HAS BEEN FEATURED IN ACCOUNTS OF ALLIED RAIDS ON TOBRUK AND OTHER AXIS BASES. THIS PICTURE SHOWS AUSTRALIAN GROUND CREWS ATTACHING THE BOMB FUSE PRIOR TO ONE OF THESE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL RAIDS. (NEGATIVE BY HURLEY).
