been improved from the point of view of both armament and speed, When General Franco's troops advanced up- on Barcelona, several squadrons. of this type were being prepared, which were to be brought to the Central front for the first time after the re- duction of Catalonia. Is HE 112 equi-
valent to the Italian small pursuer
prototype as regards quality?
If it be realised that, the extremely fast Dornier DO 17 K has two engines of 1000 HP type DB-600, with which the ME 109 established the world speed record (since beaten), and reached a maximum speed of 430 km. per hour (at the end of 1938 there were only eight machines on the Ebro front for scouting flights); that it can, if necessary, replace the fastest Ita- Han bomber BR 20, and that the Ita- lian General Staff is also continuing its experiments (a squadron ́ ́ ́of equally fast, new two-engine bomber -Caproni CA 135-already manufac- tured in series, was to be tested in practice in the liquidation of the cen- tre front), the possibility must be ad- mitted that the mutual interdepen- dence of the two air fleets of the axis may disappear in the near future, in the event of the success of these im- proved machines.

But there is yet another Italian which has not been equalled by the Germans: the heavy fighting plane Breda BA 65. This machine which, with the 950 HP Gnome-Rhone K 14 engine, reaches a maximum speed of 430 km. per hour has revealed itself as a first class prototype for nose-dive bombing and fighting.

dispassionately whether the united Italo-German aviation is an uncon- querable factor in a future war, and if the results of 30 months of modern air war in Spain be investigated ob- jectively and impartially, the conclu- sion to be drawn is somewhat unex- pected:

FIRST: 75 per cent of all the Ger- man and Italian types introduced in Spain have either been proved to be second-class machines or totally un- suitable for a modern air war. (the unusable, machines. include 3 Junkers types, 2 Heinkel, 2 Henschel, 1 Focke- Wulf, 1 Dornier, 1 Gotha, 1 Fat, I Romeo, 1 Savoya, 1 Caproni,
• etc.), while only seven German and Italian c/o The Anderson Music Co., Ltd., types can be described as first-class.
SECONDLY: The types of the bombing, fighting and pursuing planes are not German or Italian Inventions, but copies of Ameri- can and Russian machines. This "copyright" has naturally been annex- ed by Berlin and Rome without the specific permission of the authors.
