YOUNG INVENTOR
RADIO-CONTROLLED BOMBING PLANES The youngest''inventor ever to be in- ; terviewed by the Inventions Board | officer in Sydney, a 13-year-old school-j boy, submitted a scheme for sending a ! fleet of small radio-controlled planes j on bombing raids over enemy country, j Military authorities were impressed [ with his painstaking detail and his j ability to answer questions about his ! miniature bombers. His invention was j found impracticable, largely because radio research has not yet developed I sufficiently. j The schoolboy's scheme provided for i an extension of the Queen Bee plan—*; a small radio-controlled model plane!* with which successful experiments have j ■ already beep made.
