A 420 M.P.H. "flying bomb," which, it is claimed, will revolutionise war in the skies, has been designed by Mr. Noel Pemberton-Billing, famous air pioneer
ind Great War “ace.” ·
The "flying bomb" is really a stream-lined, single-seater monoplane, shaped like an Easter egg, which has to be shot into the air.
It is little bigger than a light aeroplane-10ft. high, 33ft. long, and with a wing-spread of 40ft.-but it is designed to:

Silent
Raids
Bombers To Glide To Attack
ROTTERDAM. The theory that Germany. is preparing a new way of approaching England with bombing 'planes by gliding with motors cut out is held in Dutch military circles.
It arises from the mys- terious lighted spheres which have lately been ob- served over Holland at night. It is thought that the idea is to approach the English coasts in absolute silence, so that no sound ap- paratus could pick them up.
To do this two glides would be necessary, both of which, it is thought, are planned to start from a height of about 30,000ft. The first glide would start in Germany and would bring the 'planes to somewhere above Utrecht.
There the planes would climb again to something over 30,00011, frem which altitude the second glide would curry them well over the Channel
The pilots would have to know the pasition where they must exact climb for their second. glide. To help them, members of what might be called a "atth.column" in Hol- land, Dutch sympathisers and Ger- man sples, are, it is believed, sending up these Very lights.
