OF all the new types Of combat planes
which have contributed to the i'm
provement of the Army Air Corps dur
ing the past two years of remarkable
developments, the new bombardment
planes, within their directives, perhaps
are the most successful.
The requirements for both light and
heavy bombers have been exceeded
by wide margins as result Of develop
ments beyond the highest expectations
Of Air Corps engineers year or two
ago. The Army's new bombers are
said to be the fastest of their types
in the world, and one or two of them
can outfly all except the latest pursuit
planes.
Though the new bombers have proved
liminary trials, this does not mean that
the Army bombardment squadrons are
modernized up to the new standard
The bulk of the equipment of the
bomber squadrons is now regarded as
obsolescent. in view of the new develop
ments. Replacement of the outmodeC
old types by the new ships is matter
OF much uncertainty in view of the
present Federal economy program.
The new bombers are all twin
engined monoplanes. one high wing
the others OF the new lOw-W1ng types
which have made fame in fast ali
transport operations.
According to the report Of Maj. C. w
Howard, Air Corps, chief of the engin-
eering section of the Air Corps Materiel
Division. on the aeronautical develop
ments Of the past year, the develop
ment Of the Douglas B-7 light bonn
bardment plane has been so successful
that the plane has been placed on serv-
ice test in the squadrons. This is the

An outgrowth of the vacuum tube,

place of the rectifier, which transforms

the latter is preferred. The capacity

of this class of equipment In modern
