-**&; A Flight artist's impression of a scrap between a Hurricane and a "Jaguar." THE MESSERSCHMITT BOMBER AMONG the new types of German long-range bombers is the "Jaguar," the latest product of Willy Messerschmitt, whose name has hitherto been chiefly associated with single-seater fighters. The new bomber has a strong likeness to the Meno fighter, but the transparent nose gun position is different and resembles that of the Heinkel 1UK. Powered by two liquid-cooled en- gines (probably D.B.6ois), the type has so far been used mainly over the North Sea. It seems likely, however, that we may soon see it over this country. "The "Jaguar" carries a crew of four, and the armament includes several light and heavy machine guns. On the right is seen a gunner at his station in the nose. One imagines that he would have an impression of nakedness in that glasshouse of his. The bomb-aimer's station is just out of sight at the bottom of the picture.
