PLANES FOR BRITAIN.—The pictures above and immediately below reveal how Britain is strengthening her anti-aircraft defences and the thorough manner in which the problem is being attacked. Immediately above is the first of a consignment of 250 Lockheed twin-engined bombers ordered from the United States, photographed on its arrival at Liverpool on board the liner Ascania. Right, above, is seen the manner in which mass production of the world's fastest fighting plane, the Vickers Superniarine Spitfire fighter, is going ahead at the Snpermarine Works in Sou thump ton. Packed like sardines, the fuselages, having left the jigs, are receiving their finishing touches.
