AIR POLICY OF BRITAIN
STRONG_CRITICISM (Rec. 10.45 p.m.) LONDON, May 27. “Britain’s air organization is not inspiring,” said Lord Brabazon, formeily Minister of Aircraft Production, in a speech at the Royal Aeronautical Society. Lord Brabazon said the bitterness of the World War was child’s play compared with the inter-departmental war. ... , “First, there is the Nayy, which before the war was battleship-minded and now calls for more air support, he said. “Second, the Army has no air policy and works on the charity of the Royal Air Force, which nobly cooperates, but because the Army does not think in terms of the application of air power to new tactical operations no new weapons have been produced. Third, the Royal Air Force has worked on a double policy of defending Britain and subduing Germany with bombs. The Royal Air Force has done the first task, but the second, cannot be done through the air alone.”
