A bomb that flew over a hill gets airman (7)
I believe the answer is:
aviator
'airman' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'a bomb that flew over a hill' is the wordplay.
'bomb' becomes 'vi' (the V-a was a world war II flying bomb).
'that flew over' becomes 'a' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a hill' becomes 'tor' (tor is a kind of hill).
'a'+'vi'+'a'+'tor'='AVIATOR'
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aviator that I've seen before include "Aeronaut" , "One flying aircraft" , "Flyer, pilot" , "one in a crate?" , "Pilot of plane" .)
