Dive BOmbers
Fail, Expert Says

German dive bombers have not
been as successful as the general
public in this country believes,
according to Lieut.. Col. w. Lock-
wood Marsh, a British engineering
expert, in the March issue OF
Aviation.
With the lightning Nazt attacks
on Poland and the Low Countries
the Stuka type of plane received
the spotlight in most news dis
patches, but In more recent en-
gagements against England almost
no Stukas have been used because
of their lack of success. In the
attack on Croydon airport last
Fall, when Is Stuka dive bombers
made a combined effort to demol-
ish the field, every Nazi plane was
shot down.
This British view is in agree
ment with that expressed recently
by Mai. Gen. II. II. Arnold, head
of our own air corps. who stated
that American military observers
abroad had concluded that dive
bombers were successful only
against relatively undefended posi-.
tons. For this reason, horizontal
bombers will continue to be the
mainstay of our bombing forces.
