tionize raid warfare. is claimed to com
bine enormous speed and climbing

It Is described as being able to climb
TO an altitude Of more than 10000 feet
In a remarkable short time, and is able
TO keep up terrific speed even at II
highest attitudes. And It can accom-
pllsh this, it is claimed, carrying pilot
observer, great weight OF bombs, ma
chine guns and other equipment.
The London Daily Express saws OF
1t that 1T Is so fast that long distances
can be accomplished in the shortest
time, and bombing raids which. with
the older type Of bombing plane would
perhaps need a whole days prepara-
tlon, will now be carried out within
