REAL ARMADA WILL BATTLE
 MIMIC FIGHT
Six Hundred and Seventy two Planes Will Ap-
 pear in Flight
By OSCAR LEIDING GA. P. Aviation Editor)

LA. F. Aviation Ed1t0r)
 WASHINGTON, May 9.--An aer- ial armada that will appear in flight as a column 20 miles long is preening it's wings for the an- nual air corps field exercises this month.
 A skeleton of a full wartime air division, the force will have 672 planes, TAO officers, and 631 enlist ed men, outstripping in size any provisional organization ever as- sembled by the army for it's air maneuvers.
 Since the beginning of the year under leadership of F. Trubee Davi- son, assistant secretary of war for aeronautics, who conceived the large-scale operations, officers have been drafting plans for far-flung mimic battles.
 To Form at Dayton
 The division will form in the middle of this month at Dayton, Ohio. After several days of forma- ton and combat practices with flight demonstrations over Chicago and Detroit, it will move in a brok- en mass to arrive May q in New York.
 Starting the next night with a bombing attack on the city near midnight, operations will be car ried on for two days The attack will end on May g when the en- tire force will fly in combat forma- ton for the dedication of Floyd Bennett field, New York's new mu- nicipal airport.
 The battle-line will then be flung into the New England sector, with a mass demonstration May 25 over Boston. A composite group of planes will break away from the force for sally into Maine as far north as Bangor.
 End Maneuvers at Capital
 The division will be reformed the next day in upstate New York, to fly in a column down the Hudson river and past the massed ranks of West Point cadets.
 Atlantic City, Trenton, Jersey City, and Newark will be attacked by the armada May 27, and two days later 1t will move over Phila- delphia and Baltimore for the fi- al maneuvers over Washington Me- morial day.
 Brig. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois, assistant chief of the air corps in charge of plans, will command the division.
 In assembling the monster force, the air corps hopes to settle by practical tests the problems of handling under one command an organization representing in minia- ture a wartime air weapon.
 It will seek to find out the num- Der of planes that may be handled from an airdrome, and the time required for a large organization to get into the air. It will test communication systems to see ii they are adequate and whether op- erations may be controlled en route by radio.
 New Pilots to Try Wings
 New pilots will test their ability at wartime maneuvers. Problems of transporting, feeding and hous- ing personnel will be approached Supply systems for fuel and parts will be tested.
 The planes will be drawn from all quarters of the country. The airways to be covered will tota about 5O0O0 miles, and every state in the Union will be crossed bJ units either in concentrating, dur ing the exercises, or demobilizing.
