AEROPLANE ORDER
British Air Ministry LONG RANGE DAY BOMBERS (Received October 28, 5.5 p.m.) . London, October 27. The Air Ministry has ordered 12 Overstrand twin-engined long-range day bombers with movable gun turrets. The gunner sits on a stool in a small, egg-shaped structure socketed in the nose of the machine, and can fire in any direction, the turret turning quickly enough to follow the fastest enemy aeroplane. It is stated that firing at 200 miles an hour is as easy and accurate as from off the ground.
