Bombers' Range Doubled
By WILLIAM COURTENAY
A NEW device for refuelling in the air, which I have just inspected at a South of England aerodronie, will, I believe, extend the range of night bombers from 2,000 to 4,000 miles.
The importance of this is obvious.

By refuelling in the air they would be able to take off lightly toaded and receive up to an additional 1,000 gallons of petrol from tankers flying above them.
The mechanism has been so clever- ly devised that it is impossible for the nireraft to collide, and the operation can be carried out in wet or bumpy weather without difficulty.
In the case of the Atlantic flying boats, it has been possible for a four- engined boat which normally loads to 40,500lb, to carry 53,0001b. when refucted from the air,

pressure.
When you are walking about on the ground there is atmospheric pressure of 15lbs, on every square inch of your body-that is, the weight of all the air above you. When aj pilot flies very high there is much
·less ale above him to weigh on him; and when the air pressure is reduced, like this, u man may become un- conscious,
Food researches affecting high- fers are of the first importance, in vlew of the fact that stratosphere Lonbing may develop out of the war.
Planes would fly with loads of bombs at heights up to eight and half miles out of range of anti-nir- craft guns and fighter planes.
The diet experiments began with testing the resistance of rats to lack of oxygen.
They were put in a decompression chamber and subjected to the air pressure that is found at a height of five and a half miles. They died quickly.
Then it was found that after a six days' diet of carrots, the rats could live an hour at that pressure.
