…e Fell Types are far prettier, but look difficult, or at least tedious, to install. Font management is one of LaTeX’s biggest weaknesses.) Just insert the following in your preamble and you’re done: \usepackage[fullveryoldstyle]{kpfonts} Well, almost. This simply replaces every s with a long s, which is not right. Most importantly, long s is generally not used at the end of a word, so you need to replace these with ‘s=’. Here’s what the first para…
…far as to say that ‘in the opinion of the British Government far too many instances have occurred, both in China and in Spain, where these general rules have been plainly disregarded and where there has been a deliberate attack upon civilians’. Turning to the second of Noel-Baker’s issues, that of bombing attacks on British ships engaged in the Spanish trade, the prime minister says that ‘We do not admit the right of General Franco or anybody els…
…pilots, perhaps also on the same date? Bäumer: “We had a 2-centimeter gun installed on the front (of the aircraft). Then we flew down low over the streets, and when we saw cars coming from the other direction, we put on our headlights so that they would think another car was approaching them. Then we shot them with the gun. We had a lot of successes that way. It was great, and it was a lot of fun. We attacked trains and other stuff the same way.”…
…ria with a view to using it as a base for operations intended in the first instance to help Rashid Ali and the usurpers in Iraq who have made war on this country. At the same time Iran is being pressed to allow Germans to infiltrate there. What isn’t mentioned here, but is clear from an accompanying map, is that Iraq and Iran have oil, which would be of great value to Germany, if it can eject Britain from the area. It does seem to be trying; altho…
…attack the mainland cities, and it has even been suggested in the present instance, when steps are being taken to erect a new fort in the Derwent, an aerial survey of the locality might be of considerable value to an unfriendly power.6 One reader (using the nom-de-plume Prepare) wrote in to the Mercury expressing concern about the apparent ease with which the mysterious aeroplane had penetrated Australian airspace, hinting darkly that ‘foreigners…
…undetected, it is less of a problem than in the last war: We have now, for instance, what we had not then, flying boats able to keep in the air or on the sea for days, so that now they can establish patrols and a chain of listening posts far out to sea to pass the word of raiders’ approach. There is also the ‘“pick-a-back” machine‘, where a flying boat carries a smaller plane on top and launches it in mid-air, allowing the latter to save fuel and…
…should be reserved for this purpose only. A daylight raid on Augsburg, for instance, may be spectacular but its practical value is negligible.’ While the Post allows that it can’t be assumed that Germany ‘could not concentrate a fairly heavy attack on some British target’, There is no evidence, however, that the Luftwaffe is being strengthened at present on the Western Front, and sensational stories which have gained currency concerning big reinfo…
…m to have left out (4): Thousands have now been made homeless, and in many instances their means of livelihood are gone. The Germans themselves have admitted that it will take years to rebuild Lübeck. This also shows that the past tense used by the Mirror didn’t come from the Air Ministry, for it says ‘The population is about 150,000’. Interestingly, the Guardian gives priority to the Flushing raid to the Rostock one, though otherwise it has much…
…st-treasured monuments stand, as marked in Baedeker with three stars — for instance, Canterbury Cathedral and other cathedrals, Tudor houses, Windsor Castle, and so forth, and that German bombers will take reprisals for British terrorist bombings. One of the Guardian‘s leading articles quotes the 1925 Baedeker, ‘written and printed in Germany’, to show that Lübeck is a city of ‘great commercial and industrial importance’ as well as ‘picturesque’ (…
…and, and his decision may depend on any of a number of considerations. For instance, though the weather may be good over this country, it does not necessarily follow that it is good over Germany; or the weather forecasts may indicate early morning fog at the time our bombers would be returning to their bases. For that reason, the final word must be with the Commander-in-Chief and his staff, who are in possession of facts which cannot be known to a…
