MEXICO CITY, March 2S.-tP-
A handful of airmen and a dozen
more or less modern airplanes nave
dominated the Mexican revolution
airy campaign in north3n Mexico.
They have been the eyes and the
punitive arms of the federal armies
as horse, foot and guns plodded
YEARLY over deserts and mountains
where dynamited bridges and de-
stroyed railway tracks had they
been defended by unseen rebel
bands, might have held up the fed
eral advance for days.
SHARING high over the prairies OF
DurArgo and the deserts Of Goa
hula, the little group of aviators
go effectively secuted and bombed
out the insurgents that ground units
of the advancing federals, save for
a skirmish here and there, have had
little more to do than repair track
age destroyed by retreating rebels.
\, The air squadrQps have been in
the thick Of the~ campaign from
its very beginning. At Vera Cruz,
they bombed" insurgents with
handbills and newspapers, reclaim
ing loyatlies Of wavering rebel
troops.
At Durango it was an air raid or
so, with small bombs, which sent
the rebels s%currying from the city.
Air raiders harrassed the rebels at
Torreon and occupied the city long
before the troops of Generals Alma
5an and Gales could come up.
New bombing planes of modern
design, rushed from the United
States, will make the federal flying
corps henceforth much more val
liable as General Almazan's 10000
fighting men press on past Escalon
towards Jimenez. The new planes
carry four machin guns each and
emplacements for two more, with
devices for dropping ten 50-pound
bombs during each flight.
