     What might the feasibility be of using aircraft to fly at very low
altitude and supersonic speed over enemy troops in trenches.  Would the sonic
boom from a fighter be powerful enough to cause injuries and/or equipment
damage.  At the very least, repeated flights at night in the days preceeding a
battle would interrupt the sleep of the entrenched troops.
