First, close study will be given to aerial artillery observation problems and suitable aircraft for this;

Secondly, the extent to which British dive bombers can replace artillery in harassing the enemy infantry.

The new Command is essential and the new commander is the right man to probe these pro- blems. He went through Wool- wich and served with the Artil- lery, joining the old Royal Fly- ing Corps in 1914.
