and for the necessary maneuycring
in the vicinity of the hostile fleet.
For a land airplane to 20 beyond that
distance would be hazardous in the
extreme, SO long as the present types
OF bombing machines exist.
Future development, on the other
hand. is expected to take care or
the situation to an extent that air
craft with one hop" would be able
to go out and attack a fleet at
much greater distance than loo miles.

radius They believe that the value
of land aircraft will be confined to
an area within a reasonable distance
of the coast line. but see the posi-
bilities of so co-ordinating the Navy
and the air service as to bring the
maximum results.
The real underlying purpose of
the desire to demonstrate the posi-
bilities OF aircraft operating against
battleships is to further the consid-
Grafton of the air service. Those
whose hearts and whose souls are in
the military flying branch OF the ma
tional defense believe they are on
the right track in the future de-
velopment of warfare.
The dream of the flyers is that some
day the government will authorize
the creation of a separate air scrv-
ice on a par with the Army and the
Navv--a service for land. service
for water and A service for the air.

the field is far from complete at this
time. but officers and men are being
shifted here as rapidly as possible
from other stations in preparation for
the work The details of the problem
are yet to be received from the War
and Navy departments, but it gener-
ally is understood that the tests will
be in three parts: First, the airplanes
will be assigned to the duty of locat-
ing the fleet at sea. at some point per-

the coast and within comparatively

starting like the others on it's down
ward course.
TT started, though, the fraction of a
second too late and Instead of reg
istering a direct hit as had the other
three it fell into the water approxi-
mately fifty feet beyond the line of
the supposed battleship. Still. under
the rules, it had to be set down as
hit. for certainly it was well within
the prescribed danger zone.
Capt. Easterbrook and Capt. Law
son were the only team which made
a perfect score of 100 per cent in this
demonstration. One of the teams
made but 50 per cent but the average
for the group for the liz bombs drop
ped was l3 per cent.
When the signal came to withdraw
from the supposed battle line the Mar

caused by the detonation of the
bombs, specified evidence of the sure
aim of the bombers. There were a few
of the holes outside the lines, but
very few. These had been dropped
from a lower elevation, in the neigh
borhood of 5000 feet.

officers obtained charts, blocked of

tile land aircraft. Yet the Army
service in striking high is convinced
that even a partial accomplishment
Of the theory advanced will be an
important development in modern
warfare.
The limitations of the effectiveness
of land aircraft in operations against
a fleet are recognized. but faith in the
future is maintained for the extension
of the present possibilities. For in
stance. it would now be virtually i'm
possible for a fleet of airplanes to
attack an enemy fleet. The limit is
established by the length Of time it
is possible for the airplanes-to re-
main in the air.

THE Martin bombers. which are at
present the standard heavy bomb
ers in the service. have a gasoline
capacity of about Ave hours. They
travel. as a rule. at ninety miles an
hour. For this calculation it is suffi-
cient to say that they would be able
to travel total of 500 miles provided
the motors functioned properly. This
would place a natural limit of safe
travel at about 100 miles from shore.

is understood, will consist of firing

radio controlled-and it is expected
that two hits will be allowed. The
third part of the problem. when the
heavy ammunition is to be used. viii
be when some OF the German ships
which have been assigned to the
United States government are to be
turned loose for the bombing by the
American air forces. Heavy ammu-
milton will be used in these expert
ments. and the ships will be sunk
if the air service theory is carried
out.
a RMY air service officers are will
ing to go through these tests
to prove their assertion that their
airplanes will be effective against
fleets operating in coastal waters.
They say that in actual warfare they
would not be compelled to include
in the problem that of locating the
enemy fleet. since it's location nat
urally would be known. with the i'm
proved use of radio, before an at
willing that they should be called
upon to find the fleet first before at
tempting the attack.
Among all the officers at Langley
Field there is the utmost confidence
that the assertion of Brig. Gen.
Mitchell that aircraft is able to de-
stroy battleships under the condi-
tions prescribed will be demonstrated
clearly to the board assigned to OBJ
serve the tests. They take the view
that navy would have virtually
no defense against such an attack
for reasons they are willing to set
forth in detail.
So far as they can figure, the chief
defense of a fleet would be with
aircraft in superior numbers. but
they set down as a grave question
whether a fleet of battleships would
be able to transport with the fleet
a sufficient number of airplanes to
be really effective. They believe it
would be a simple matter for land
forces to oyerpower the air forces
of any fleet.
Anti-aircraft guns figure but slight
ly in the consideration. The Army
tests indicate that guns of this char
acter are not effective beyond 5000

circles.
THESE bombing tests by the Army
have been going on over a period
of about three months and. as the
records show, have brought about re-
:narkable results. They have been
conducted entirely at Langley Field,
the location of which. at the mouth
of Black river, between Old Point
Comfort and Newport News is ideal
for such experiments. AS the prac-
tice has progressed there has been a
corresponding improvement in the
bombing.
Liye as well as dummy bombs are
usedfin the practice. The dummy
bombs made of clay, are far less true
than the live bombs. so that the rec
ords made with the dummy bombs are
not to be accepted as real indica-
tion of the possible results. Most of
the live bombs which are used weigh
100 pounds.
The people in the vicinity of Lang
ley Field have complained against the
use of this heavy ammunition to such
an extent that of late where live
bombs are used the safety pin has not
been removed, so that there will be
no detonation when they hit. The
bomb merely sinks to the bottom of
the bay.
