Seventy-Two-Foot Big Gun Aims at the Stratosphere
Item
Hiding in the woods somewhere back of Germany's west wall fortifications is the modem “Big Bertha,” counterpart of the long-distance cannon that hurled shells into Paris during the first World War. Still untried as an engine of destruction, its barrel is seventy-two feet long. The gun points at a steep angle, flinging its projectile high into the stratosphere where air resistance is less and the shell can carry farther toward enemy country.
