for miles and up and down and back

zach machine would carry at least
100 mounds Of explosive 20 times as

"This army OF the air could blast

municating trenches. ammunition and

entire American force were wiped
out-which would not happen-N
would have accomplished more than

Another advantage said Prince,
IS the time saved. II takes seven
months Of intensive training to make
a battle pilot. Only four months are
required to become an effective pilot
Of a bomber.
Americans have a special adapt
ability for aviation. They have the
sporting instinct and all their lives
