Summary

Description Title: "How Sub-Lieut. Warneford won the V.C."
Caption: "Flight Sub-Lieut. R. A. J. Warneford was awarded the V.C. for most conspiuous bravery of June 7th, when he attacked and, single-handed, completely destroyed a Zeppelin in mid-air. This brilliant achievement was accomplished after chasing the Zeppelin from the coast of Flanders to Ghent, where he succeeded in dropping his bombs on to it from a height of only one or two hundred feet. One of these bombs caused a terrific explosion, which set the Zeppelin on fire from end to end, but at the same time overturned his aeroplane and stopped the engine. In spite of this he succeeded in landing safely in hostile country, and after fifteen minutes started his engine and returned to his base without damage."
