Steel points out that while the

huge air forcs could be mobilized In a
brief period and launch an offensive
warfare which, unless anticipated.
might determine the ultimate outcome
Of hostilities.
-An air neet built ostensibly
for commercial purposes could be
converted into q beIligerent feet in
Q comparatively short time and
without attracting notice even in
the immediate vicinity OF its mobi-
lization," Steel writes.
within q few hours the fleets
would be ready for q gigantic Of

be attacked could be warned the
squadrons would be on their way
