AIR INQUIRY.
ADMISSIONS OF A CRITIC. GREAT IMPROVEMENTS MADE London, May 18. Little progress was made to-day at the air inquiry. Mr. Joyuson Hicks, Unionist member for Brentford, admitted that great improvements had been made in air defence since his charges were formulated. The British might be superior to the Germans, but that was not the same as saying they had mastery of the air. He demanded more and stronger aeroplanes. He refused to divulge the names of his informants, who were flying officers. Mr. Pemberton Billing,, did not attend the inquiry.
