Turkey Speeds Up Air Force Organising
ANKARA, December 15. Turkey is making a spirited effort tho organise her air force, largely with British assistance. Poland’s speedy devastation under Germany’s aerial strength has done more to convince the Turks that they "need aeroplanes and anti-aircraft defences than years of theorising. British instructors are teaching young officers to fly. Turkey has recently been experimenting with different types of machines.
She has secured British, German, Polish, .and American machines to the number of 225. One hundred new British aeroplanes are now being' assembled.
French and American machines have also been ordered.
