Aircraft'S importance
I'm War Grows Fast

New York. August S-AyatiOn has
made vast progress in the third year
OF the war. The keen competition IN
the great struggle has been responsi
Bile for this remarkable advance. Va
rious types OF aeroplanes have SUP
planted each other in quick succession
No sooner has a new type been do
signed than a faster plane has been
built.
The progress Of aviation has empha-
sized more sharply the absolute nee d
of planes and direibles for the army
and navy. Time after time battles
have been won and lost, concerted
drives held back or pushed ahead be-
cause OF the aeroplanes.
BATTLES have been fought in alti-
tudes ever rising to the present record
of some 5000 feet above the level of
the sea and there has developed a deX-
terity in manipulating machine in
the air such as hut few men dreamed
of few years back
Early in the fall of 1916 the race
between the Allies and Germany in
the air fight became keener than ever
Experts speeded up their efforts to
improve existing types OF planes, with
the result that old machines were
either sent back to the training camps
or to the junk pile; more and more
men were garnered in for training as
ayiators. and factories were told TO
hustle as they never did before.
This boom in aviation was further
augmented by the entry of the United .
States in the war. Factories capable 1

not involved, changed their position
rs might have been expected, and
prepared to turn out planes by the
hundreds to aid in the defeat OF Ger
many.
II was the virtually unanimous
opinion among military authorities
hat an influx of thousands of Amer
can aeroplanes with trained ayiators
dong the western front would beat
Germany without question. II was
explained that they could raid the
'erman depots and munitions centres
