U.S.A. AIR SERVICE.
NEED FOR EXPANSION.
AN OCULAR DEMONSTRATION.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn NEW YORK, August 21
A telegram from Ranzor, Maine, states that 1G army Martin bombers arrived from Hampton (Virginia). Flying northward along the Eastern seaboard they covered 800 miles in 8$ hours. The aerial armada flew in various serial formations. These manoeuvres are understood to be intended as a demonstration of the essentiality of the air service, and also to show the vulnerability of the Atlantic Coast, as an argument for increased aerial armament.
