Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): Eight gun planes concentrate fire on single spot
extracted text (Extract Text): EIGHT separate machine
guns mounted in the wings
of the “Spitfire” fighting
planes of the British Royal
Air Force concentrate their
simultaneous fire on a point
300 yards dead ahead of the
planes. Thus, when an enemy
plane is brought into range
by means of a swift surprise
attack from above, the con-
verging fire of all eight guns
rips into the hostile craft like
a whirling buzz saw. Since
each gun fires twenty times a
second, the deadly spray of
bullets from the eight guns
reaches a rate of nearly 10,-
000 shots a minute. At right,
above, ground attendants are
“loading” a cartridge belt in-
to a Spitfire’s wing.
