IN THE NEXT WAR.
Press-button Will Launch 50,000 Planes. LONDON, November 14. When the next war is declared, the enemy’s commander-in-chief will press a button and launch 20,000 —perhaps 50.000—aeroplanes, writes Lord Rothermere. in the “ Daily Mail.” Lord Rothermere, who urges the immediate construction of 5000 planes, says that the enemy’s air fleet will be laden with bombs and gas. People who imagine that such raids are impossible merely fool themselves. The R.A.F. in 1918 numbered 22,171. and if war had lasted another six months, would have numbered 50.000. The machines can be turned out as quickly as motor-cars, and Germany could create an efficient air force in a few weeks.
