Fort Bragg, Oct. 11.-(AP)-The
ability of unframed civilians to spot
invading airplanes at their maximum
attitudes is being tested TODAY over
Eastern North Carolina as a part Of
the anti-aircraft warning net exercises
which may begin new epoch in ma
tional defense.
For the last "a hours, some 1000 vol
tinteer civilian observers, among them
800 women, have been on the alert as
problems of increasing difficulty have
been given them.
During the first exercises, long be-
fore dawn yesterday, the invading
BLACK" planes came in from Langley
Field, Va, at ccommodatingly low
attitudes, except for one flight, so the
voluntary observers could spot them
Groggy with sleep, those doctors,
lawyers, farmers and coast guards
men turned out at $3.50 a. m. to flash
the progress of the 33 attacking
planes during their four-hour maneuv
ers against Fort Bragg.
This was intended as a test of the
operation of the volunteer net.
Today, however, in the first day.
Light attack, giant "black" four engin-
ed By flying fortresses and Martin
oombers roared across the Atlantic
coast line at their maximum ceilings,
more than $4,000 feet, for the Boeings.
AT this altitude, the craft were expect
ed to be invisible except with the aid
OF glasses and virtually inaudible.
A low flying attack was planned to
follow the bombers to distract the OBJ
servers and shield the bombers from
anti-aircraft batteries with a smoke
screen. First reports indicated the
volunteer observers were experiencing
little difficulty detecting the planes
at high altitude. ~
