AVIATION SECRETS.
BOMBS FROM PILOTLESS MACHINES. BRITAIN HOLDING THE LEAD. Ey Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.—Aus. ana N.Z. Cable Assn. (Received May 2, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 1. The aviation cori-espumdant of the “ Daily Chronicle ” says that secret experiments in the application of wireless control to aeroplanes have demonstrated that Britain is not behind any country in this development. Machines have been flown without pilots or crews, and have been made to twist and turn by means of wireless, and to land at any desired spot. II is hoped that shortly it will be possible to drop bombs from pilotless ’planes, thus completing the investigations which were begun in 1815. Th-e experimental aviation ground is fenced with electrified barbed wires, and sentries are posted to ensure the secrecy of the experiments.
