HEROES ARE MARKSMEN Years of Practice Prepared Them for Battles With Luftwaffe LTiDON, Aug. 10 W Behind the immortal few who broke the buck of the Luftwaffe In 1940-41 and thus saved Britain from in vasion was an even smaller group of men who In .peace years save Britain's tiny air force the "know-how" necessary to fl.'tht and win against near overwhelming odds. While the world cheered the enlc stand of the R.A.F. against the numerically superior German air force in the first years of the war, the question was often asked "how do they do it?" It was straight shooting that did it shooting ased on, years of practice and resarch. As early as 1933 the R.A.F. was oractislng air firing training n.sainst ground targets, tout even though this developed a high de-Tee of skill It did not provide the pilot with necessary experience In allowing for the deflec-tlm required against a fast-moving target. At the time it was thought 1 nothing could be done to overcome this lack as towln? a target was considered too great a strain for the wood-andwire aircraft of those days. A fabric cone was developed, however, which became the well-known "sleeve target"--and from that time Britain's fighter force be came a 'bunsh of sharp-shooters. Bark of this revolution ln combat training were a few of- ; ficers who, after toeing told their plans were "impolble." went ahead to prove their critics wronr. Men like Air Vice Marshal H. Broa'lhurst, Air Commodore A. A. B. Thomson. Groun Ovntaln C. H. Keith and Air Commodore A. L. Perry-Keenc as Junior officers risked professional suicide to pioneer these tactics. That Is one of the chief reasons why, when the Luftwaffe came, scores of 100 to 11 were chalked up in a single day's fighting by the R.A.F. They knew how to shoot. The Germans, counting on numerical superiority, didn't.

He disproved the faulty theories of the chemists of his day and laid the foundation of modern chemistry. We owe the modern concept of the element largely to him as well as many chemical terms used internationally today. He served the government in matters relating to agriculture, hygiene, coinage and the casting of cannon. He was falsely 'accused by Marat in the years following the Revolution and went to the guillotine in 1794.
