Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the year from the automobile point of view is the tremendous development of the air services, says the “Auto Car” (England). Temporarily it may be said that motorists have founded a movement of such gigantic proportions that its very success, in the majority of cases so far as they are personally concerned,'has rendered it impossible for them to use their cars in England. . It is not too much to say that the flying machine to-day is the outcome of the high speed petrol engine which was only made possible through the motor car. Had there been no motor cars there would have been no flying services in time for participation in this war, neither would there have been any mechanical transport or tanks. In other words, the thousand and one uses to which petrol is put in the war to-day would not have existed, and there is a certain grim consolation in the reflection that the development of the modern war machine as exemplified by the dispatch motor bicycle, the staff car, the motor ambulance, the motor lorry the motor boat, the aeroplane, and the tank, to mention only a few of the forms in which the little prime mover of the motor ear is utilised, has resulted in demands for liquid fuel, and demands upon the automobile manufacturers which, in combination, have brought about in England a condition of affairs which is little less than a cessation of private motoring for the term of the war.
