Scope and content

Mentions the fuses used in attacks on roads and railways by the Desert Bomber Force, and the Wellingtons of Strategic Air Forces. SZ lists the bombs in theoretical order of importance which could be used in attacks on roads, railways and airfields [list not included].

SZ comments on the Unit's progress. He requests the Air Ministry to send a detachment of men from the Bomb Census Unit to plot [the Allied] bomb fall on specific targets.

SZ was to return to La Marsa to see whether their own work could be co-ordinated with the work of the American Operational Research Section attached to Doolittle.
