the stage of development where, even
with the present obsolete equipment,

Huri Death From Air.
Low-fying airplanes, each equipped
with six machine guns, two mounted
on the top wings on each side of the

two similarly located on the lower
wings, and two sets to fire through
the propeller. and in addition carrying
numerous 25-pound augmentation or
b0-pound demolition bombs. flying at
a speed of $50 or more mile an hour,

The foregoing prediction of actual

of 1000 to 1000 yards. The volume
of fire j. heavy enough to cause an
enemy to seek cover. The second fight
of each wave is armed with 25-pound

behind the machine-gun flight. Thus,
only few seconds eIapse between the
end of the machine gun fire and the
exploding of the bambs. Just as soon
as the bombs have exploded the
machine gun flight of the second
wave opens fire and, when completed,
the second fight of the second wave
