Under the new detence policy bombing squadrons predominate, No fewer than 18 of the DAW squadrons are already equipped with bombing aircraft. Provision of efficient aerodromes for the new units has been one of the big problems facing the Gov- ernment, but sites for 40 RAF. stations have now been acquired under the expansion scheme. On 32 of them site-levelling and erec- tion of buildings are already well advanced.
In addition, 13 special civil flying training-schools, where young RAF. pliots are trained, have beerr created, and contracts for the same number of training centres for the Dew R.A.F. Volunteer Reserve are now being placed.
