Canuck Leads Raid

LONDON (CP) — A young Canadian today led planes of the Fleet Air Arm which successfully attacked enemy gun positions near Calais, across the English Channel from Dover, the Air Ministry announced.

The Canadian, whose name was not given, dropped his bombs and then circled around, photographing the rest of the attack. He brought back vivid pictures of the devastation caused by many direct hits.
