World Battlefronts: BATTLE OF ITALY: Bomberang

BATTLE OF ITALY Bomberang

A Nazi bomber swooped in over the Anzio beach, dropped its big radio-controlled rocket bomb, started to guide it toward the Allied supply ships below. The ships tossed up a fountain of flak, trying to explode the projectile. Suddenly the bomb slowed in midair, twisted into a crazy loop, started straight back toward its parent plane.

The pilot banked wildly to avoid it, but the radio-beam mechanism had evidently been knocked out of kilter, for the bomb swung gracefully around and again chased the aircraft. When last seen, the bomber was hightailing over the horizon, its rocket bomb hot after it.
