GERMANY'S AIR STRENGTH
6.000 PLANES BY THE END OF THE YEAR
London, July 24. Germany's now famous "253rd air squadron has led to various exercises in simple arithmetic to compute the probable total present strength of her Air Force.
What is certain is that building is proceeding at a rapid rate and that in the past three months the strength has been. doubled. The main difficulty is understood to be that of recruiting pilots, tor thei haste in construction has led to many casualties to 'planes and
men.
Ong misapprehension can be readily removed. The actual num- bering of squadrons is neither here
there. Every German squadron has three numbers, each signifying something different and
ner
even the number 600 is common among them. The German word for "squadron" Is Staffel, which contains nine machines, a Gruppe is three squadrons and a Gesch- wader is two to three groups. The estimate of twenty-seven planes to a squadron arises from the con-
fusion of Staffel with Gruppe.
