Law scientists have been discussing le-

authority of the country over which they
happen to be flying, and that when they
pass over the seas beyond the three-mile
limit or above unoccupied land spaces
authority over them reverts to the ma

This conforms to maritime laws. In
deed, such an Interpretation of aerial

even more so than in regard to water
