England and France.
For every aviator in England let us say there are ten in France. For every constructor of aeroplanes in England let us say there are a dozen in France. For every originator of a new type in England there are a score in France. For every builder of aero engines in England there are a dozen in France. For every original type of aero engine attempted in England there are half a dozen in France. There is no need to cavil about the exact figures. I have put into other words the simple fact that France is immeasurably ahead of England in the struggle for the conquest of the air.J. C. Mort in Aero.
