Air Skittles. An Adaptation by No. 9 (Bomber) Squadron of the well-known game of skittles
Event No. VIII
Low Flying Attack, by No. 17 (Fighter) Squadron. When advancing troops are held up by enemy fire, it is possible for aircraft to give valuable assistance by destroying the resistance and covering the advance.
Low-flying aircraft offer to rifles and machine-guns on the ground an easy target when flying on a steady course. Converging attack is, therefore, adopted with the object of maintaining continuous fire on the target from a number of different directions. Whilst one aircraft, having delivered its attack, is leaving the target, the next is opening fire and covering the ' get-away' of the previous aircraft.
