Warplane Held in Leash for Fire Power Test

Item

As a demonstration of the firing power of a modern pursuit plane, the U. S. Army Air Forces anchored a Curtiss P-40 to the ground and turned its guns on a hillside target. The four 30-caliber wing guns and two .50-caliber guns in the plane’s nose fired rapid bursts, and streams of tracer and ordinary bullets converged on the target.
