US 8th AAF fighter planes strafing Nazi airdrome

HAZARDOUS JOB -- The patterns made by bullets from U.S. Eighth AAF fighter planes as they strafed a Nazi airdrome in occupied France recently can be seen in these excerpts from a motion picture gun camera mounted on all fighters. In one of the most dangerous types of aerial combat operations the American pilots fly at unbelievably low levels. Picture No. 2. Shooting in over a hanger, more bursts strike other German parked aircraft.
