 Although details have been kept secret, it is known that the British have developed an exceptionally ef- cient twili-motored fighting plane, armed with machine guns and two 20-millimeter cannon ring high ex- plosive shells. It is reputed to be capable of 375 miles an hour.
 Also there is a light nnonoplaIle bomber, capable of over 300 miles an hour. engined with a new. secret Rolls Royce motor. Two improved types of guns for aerial use have been adopted, a vickers and a. Browning, the latter of unusual simplicity.
 The nonoplane type is almost enc tirely replacing biplanes. Engineers are testing sleeve-valye motors and new types of fuel giving greater power.
 Huge reserves of gasoline and oil are being established and stored, sometimes underground, at points considered inaccessible to bombing.
