...crest of a wave the Nazis rode into the fateful year of 1939. In March they took the remnants of the Czechoslovak State and appeasement died. On Sept. 1 German guns and bombs boomed forth the start of World War II. After Poland and the "phony war," Norway fell; Western Europe awoke-too late. On May 10, 1940, four years and two months after its first thin columns had marched into the Rhineland, the Wehrmacht roared into the Lowlands and France to Paris and the Armistice of Compi...

Just above masthead height, the bomber headed for a fat freighter at the end of the moonbeam, rode up close with bomb doors open, flipped a pair of bombs.
