Many scientists have no doubt that it can, and in quite a short time, Lord Rutherford, the greatest and most realistic of English physi- cists, had none. About a year before his death in 1987, he said that within a few years it should be possible to bring down such an immense pro- portion of attacking aeroplanes as to make air warfare not worth the candle.
That view is shared by many of the best and most "inventive minds in England to-day. Somehow, by the "air "mines" Mr. Wells was des-
cribing the other day, or in some other fashion, aeroplanes can be stopped. It needs the organization
of a team of our best scientists, and a tenth of the cost of a single sub- marine. If it were done, it would at last let science get back to its proper work.
