ROCKET SKY-TRAIN
POST-WAR AVIATION LONDON. War inventions may give us rocket-assisted sky trains, according to Sir Miles Thomas, addressing the British Association for Commercial and Industrial Education at Birmingham. "The new forms of propulsion heralded by the hated doodle bug and our own jet-propelled aircraft open up immense possibilities of which we must be quick to take advantage," he said. "The now closely-guarded secrets of radio location development point a path of progress along which civilisation will hurry when peace again reigns. "Rocket-assisted sky trains may seem the natural successors of our experience in airborne military operations."
