952655 — WATCH YOUR CREDIT — INTERNATIONAL NEWS PHOTOS R.A.F. PILOTS VIEW OF ATTACK ON ENEMY SUPPLY SHIP London, Eng. — Here are three stages of an attack on an enemy supply ship by a pilot of the R.A.F. It shows the withering fire the ship had to undergo before reaching its destination, if it did reach safety. Pilots of the Coastal Command see action like this every day and continually harass the shipping of the enemy. The white spots around the boat are the results of the bombs dropped by the raiding R.A.F.
