WAR IN THE AIR.
HORRORS OF EFFICIENCY.
STRIKE, HXLI,, AND FLY.
A RACE FOR SUPREMACY.
(By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright)
(RecelTed 12 noon.) LONDON, May 14.
The "Daily Mail" describes a new giant aero engine with novel wing devices and development in metal construction, permitting the machines to be designed in a size hitherto impossible, and turning a new stage in history.
The newest wonders include bombers with multi-enpined power plants, practically eliminating; the risks of forced landi ings, able to fly at Buch tremendous speed that defence becomes daily more difficult.
Another variety single-seater fighter is equipped with huge engines, enabling it to rise up almost vertically, and attaining vast heights with a rapidity formerly considered impossible. A new armament race has begun between the nations to develop immensely long-range planes dipable of striking blows at distant bases.
Experiments are proceeding in Tefuelling in flight from winged tankers, with a view to increased range.—(A. and K.Z. Cable.)
