Set of diagrams detailing the techniques of fighter planes, taking into account their increased speed. Clatworthy shows the advantages of " dive and climb" attacks against bombers which made it harder for a bomber to defend itself with its rear gun, as well as describing the use of the " focus" in aiming on a plane with fixed machine guns. The design and tactics of fighter planes in the RAF ultimately ensured Britains air superiority in the Second World War.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This set of diagrams, published by the Illustrated London News in September 1939, provides a fascinating insight into the advanced air fighting techniques being employed by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the early stages of World War II. With the increasing speed of fighter planes, traditional methods of engaging enemy bombers were no longer effective. The diagrams illustrate the advantages of the "dive and climb" attack, a tactic that made it harder for a bomber to defend itself with its rear gun. By diving at high speed towards the bomber, the fighter pilot could get in close range and then climb back up to safety, allowing for multiple attacks. Another crucial aspect of fighter plane design and tactics was the use of the "focus" in aiming on a plane with fixed machine guns. The diagrams demonstrate how tracer bullets could be used to help pilots accurately aim at their targets, even in the heat of battle. This innovation significantly improved the RAF's ability to take down enemy aircraft. These diagrams offer a glimpse into the cutting-edge military technology and tactics of the time, which ultimately ensured Britain's air superiority throughout the Second World War. The bravery and skill of the RAF pilots who employed these techniques played a vital role in protecting the country from air raids and turning the tide of the war in Britain's favor.
