London, Oct.9- Great claims
are made on behalf Of severul
new airplanes about to be tested
by the British Air Ministry.
Among them is new type Of
machine which it is predicted,
will place an entirely new aspect
on the aircraft versus battle-ship
controversy. It is known as the
"Curaboo." Fitted with a very
powerful engine it will have a
range, it is said, Of over a thou
sand miles when fully loaded with
bombs or torpedoes.
This is a three-seater machine,
and it will be a most effective
weapon, when operating in large
numbers, in repelling not only
invading aircraft, but sea craft
as well.
When engaged against the
latter the new machine, it is
claimed, will be able to dart
down, discharge it's torpedoes at
the enemy vessel and climb out
Of range of anti-aircraft guns in
no time. It's ability to climb
rapidly will enable it to destroy
quickly any Zeppelin that it
sights. It is credited with a
speed of three miles minute
Greater secrecy is being observ-
ed about another machine, a four
scatter known as the "Bisson.
which it is also predicted will Go

designed for landing on and
taking off from the deck Of a
battleship or aircraft carrier.
