The investigation now being con

uuently confused by this ambiguity
and many persons who oppose the de-
velopment of air power capitalize
this confusion. 1t is perfectly pOssi-
BILE to build an apparently logical and
conclusive argument upon misuse
of these new and somewhat unfamiliar
terms.
In discussing air policy with non
a aeronautical persons, | almost invari-
ably find that they have no clear idea
of the difference between .air service
and "air force" These two terms are
! really very well chosen and thei,
meanings should be quite clear, but
due to the sometimes willful misuse
of them this original clarity has been
obscyred. An ''air service" implies
the use of aircraft to serve other arms.
while ''air force" implies the use of
aircraft directly against the enemy.
Practically speaking, in the United
States at the present time we have
only an air service, and the plan of
organization of the Army and Navy
provides for no other use of aircraft.
1t is this condition that has precipi.
tated the present crisis.
The principal function OF aircraft
when employed as air service is to
provide an observation platform. This
observation is carried on by observers
and by aerial photography and so we'll
developed Is 1t that modern armies are
| compelled to make all movements at
night and ca mouflage everything In
order to avoid disclosing their com
pleee plans to the enemy. One of the
| most important uses of the excellent
observation platform afforded by the
airplane or balloon is the regulation
of artillery fire of all kinds. BY this
means battleships are enabled to shoot

at each other when mutually invisible
and the use of 16inch rifles is rendered
practical in land operations
The function of an air force is
to strike the enemy wherever and
whenever he is encountered The air
craft in this instance serves as sort
of gun platform for machine guns
and bomb or torpedo dropping gear
and these weapons are employed in n
manner that is uniquely a character,
istic of aerial warfare The local
tactical situation does not control the
use of these weapons in any way and
they may be used at any point with
in the range of action of the air
craft. 1t is this characteristic of an
air force which differentiates Ii from
an air service, as an air service. in
order to fulfill it's mission, must con
form to the tactical plan of the or.
sanization for which it provides an
observation platform
The idea of an air force is new
one and no air force has ever been
employed to any great extent as such.
An air force involves aerial combat
as its secondary function is to protect
our own forces and territory from the
enemy's air force and prevent his
interfering with our own operations.
This work is done by fighting planes
which attack enemy aircraft wherever
found and attempt to keep them on
the ground. In neither this aerial
fighting nor in the main use of air
force, that of firing on enemy troops
or munitions centers, is there any, at.
tentton paid to front. 1t must be
realized that the air force will be in
action whether there is front or
not. and will invariably be operating
long before the fleets or armies could
possibly get into action.
In the face of properly conducted
air force it would he impossible for
either an army or a navy to estab-
lish front. The reason for this lies
In the famous saying of Napoleon that

Thus Italy, which in 1920 held "the
