U.S. Begins Bomb Run

JULY 28--Lieutenant (jg) V. D. Herbster reported on bombing tests which he and Lieutenant B. L. Smith, USMC, carried out at Indian Head Proving Grounds, Stumpneck, Md. Both dummy and live bombs were dropped over the side of the machine from about 1,000 feet against land and water targets. Herbster reported his bombing would have been more accurate "if I had been able to disengage my fingers from the wind-wheel sooner."
