WELSH ATTACK SUPERIOR The second half was a repeti. tion of the first, the defence being stranger than the attack, and Wales being slightly superior in the latter department. Fine pay by Owen Smith Cranmer and Gerrard, however, kept the Engish line intact.

The two-year programme, it will be remembered, was due to the dis- closure of Germany's attainment of numerical Air Force parity with Great Britain, and to her resolve to be equal to France. The standard thus set was the one the British Government had already declared its own. There could be no evad-ganisation Committee for the 4th ing of the issutu.

Both on the military and on the elvil side, then, a tremendous de- wand has been made on aircraft design and production, and already the influence on design is manifest in many directions.

While recruiting for the Air Force at a much accelerated rate has been successfully in progress, and training is well under way, the design of military and naval air- craft in this, and also in other countries, has taken a sudden for- wurd leap, Machines of 300 miles
