Tiny Target Plane Burns When Hit Is Scored

Item

Riflemen of the British home guard practice methods of defense against dive bombers with the aid of a moving target that bursts into flame to indicate that a bull's-eye has been made. The target consists of a tiny bomber modeled in metal, which is fixed by an arm to a shaft in a way to simulate the motion of a dive bomber. When the marksman registers a hit on one of the vulnerable parts of the plane, the bullet ignites inflammable material.
