Development Program.


Captain Craven outlined the fol-
lowing program OF development In
naval aviation, If the appropriation
desired is granted: Construction Of
large multi-motored seaplanes. such as
were used in the transatlantic flight:
construction of light planes which
may be carried on board ship and
launched from a vessel: development:
of two-seated reconnaissance planes;
development OF torpedo planes; de-
velopment OF bombing planes.
Secretary Daniels has made plans
for a naval aviation force with a
complement Of 563 officers and 1880
men and a marine corps aviation
force OF 100 officers and 1000
men the committee was informed
Should the appropriation passed by
the House be approved by the Sem
ate. it would almost entirely wipe
out the aviation section of the ma
rine corps now under the command
of Major A. A. Cunningham.
Practical uses of the naVy's avia-
ton forces may be made in peace
time, Captain Craven declared. AL
ready the Navy Department is max
ing plans for cooperating with fish
ing fleets for the location of schools
of fish by seaplanes. Naval planes
would also be used in making a coast
and geodetic survey and in patrol
ling the coasts. and there is constant
need for aerial communication in the
navy, it was stated.
At present there are twelve naval
air stations, four schools, and one ex-
perimental station, it was stated. I'm
less an adequate appropriation is
made, experimental work must stop,
and the entire development of the
navy will be hampered, Secretary
Daniels informed members Of the
committee.
