Paul Onioitt HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Photo-Gun, Invented by Lt Kennerly, Now in Use A photo-gun which provides permanent action record of marksmanship, Is an Invention of Lt. Byron F. Kennerly. di rector of the aerial gunnery de partment at Mather field, Sac ramento, Calif., and one of tho most interesting "gudgcts" in use at tho school toduy. Ken nerly, formerly with the Eagle squadron of the RAF, Is the son of O. A. Kennerly, merchant police, and Mrs. Kennerly, 2339 Darrow street. Tho camera-gun looks exactly like a regular machine gun ex cept that where tho cartridge belt ordinarily feeds through, there is packed a roll of film. The gunner sights as ho normal ly would with a "live" gun, and pulls the trigger. This releases the film which rolls just as any motion picture camera and there you have an exact photographic record of hits, near-hits and misaca, According to a story which appeared recently In the Army Air Force advanced flying school paper, "Wing Tips," Lt. Kenner ly has also put gunsighting theory into practical ground training use, training which will aid U. S. army air force pilots in learning how to properly sight enemy targets when en gaged in aerial gunnery. From several pieces of lumber, wire, a storage battery, and a gun sight, Lt. Kennerly has con structed a simulated . "combat area" In the gunnery ground school. ' A "soap box on wheels" serves as an attack plane. Mount ed on the "plane" is the gun sight, the only actual piece of real fighting equipment. Along the wall is constructed a trolley line, on which a German Stuka dive bomber, or any other plane the gunner wishes to imagine he is sighting, is drawn along on wire simulating the flight of the attacked target. In the center of the sight's cir cle, is a small dot which is the firing spot of gun' fire. The plane, when always within the circle, is properly deflected and deflection is what gunners strive for perfection. Without proper deflection, firing will go amiss and It could happen that without proper maneuverability by the pilot, holes may be shot through his own ship, according to "Wing Tips." "All this may sound rather complicated to the layman but to I . - WRITE LETTERS v - tho fighter pilot or Mather fledging, who someday may be sighting tho gun at the enemy, it Is "good stuff" and something to be cherished. The more prac tice on the ground, the more perfect the gunner will become when he sees the real thing in the air," says "Wing Tips." Kenneriy's ground training device Is tho only one being used in training work in the west coast training center schools but Is proving valuable in training, it is stated.

""i Th; LT. BARBER CITED FOR BOMBING FEAT WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (P) First Lieutenant Rex. T. Barber of Culver, Ore., has been credit ed by the war department with destroying a Japanese bomber near Guadalcanal without any Interference from 11 enemy Zero fighters. Barber, the report said, was shielded by a cloud from the Zeros just above him when he and his wing man, flying at about 8000 feet, spotted Mitaublahl below them. The two did not see the Zeros above and dived their Alracobras at the heavy bomber. A direct hit from Barber's guns set the enemy plane afire and it crashed into the sea a few hundred feet off shore. The Zeros failed to note the combat and by the time anti aircraft fire, from their base FUEL Rationing Needn't Scare You!
