IRAQ’S AIR FORCE
TINIEST IN EXISTENCE LONDON, April 9. Iraq's Royal Air Force, whose machines were built and pilots trained here, have departed from Haelield aerodrome to take up their duties in their own country, it must be one of the tiniest air forces in existence, comprising, as it does, only six military biplanes, with one monoplane for King Faisal's use.
The Iraq officers speak English fluently and wear khaki uniforms resembling the British army pattern.
