 "The reorganization of the Aircraft board, so long needed, now gives prom ise of bringing results. The Liberty motor which l saw, is claimed to be a positive success and it is said, as an evi- dence of this, that foreign governments are now keen to buy any possible sur plus of this motor which is available. The long delayed planes. are actually moving abroad and the prophecy made in the early days of the war that Amer ica would win this war in the air, l seems to be justified by recent exploits as evidenced by the achievements of our own airman.
