In long range rifle shooting, one can see the bullet's trajectory curve into
the wind before striking the target. A second person to watch the travel is
sometimes needed when the wind is especially hard to "read."

Once in a great while, one can see the bullet explode before getting to
the target - presumably because of asymmetry of the bullet itself.

Uncle George had a more easy time seeing his shells.

Wish radio waves could be seen.

Received Kraus 3rd for Christmas. Even more lucid that Kraus 1st, which
got me started decades ago. A must have book.

Merry Christmas & 73 Mac N8TT

I once had a great-uncle George. He had been in South Africa in the Boer
War. But he wasn't a radio amateur.

He was in the artillery. When I was a boy he told me that if one stood
immediately behind the breech of a 28-pounder one could actually see the
shell leave the barrel and follow its trajectory.
