Finding a formula for limiting air power is further complicated by the difference in the needs of the various nations. Great Britain is the most vulnerable of all countries to air attacks, because London is within easy bombing range from the continent, and the English Channel is just wide enough to delay the warning of approaching enemy raiders without jeopardizing their fuel supplies. France is vulnerable to attack from the East, and cannot ignore the development of aviation in Germany and Italy. The United States is nob in obvious danger from air attack, unless Canada and Mexico be considered, or long range bombers, be launched from fleets at sea Japan has Russia and China both within 500 miles of her great cities.
