THE WAR IN THE AIR:
TROOP-CARRYING PLANES: THEIR POSSIBILITIES & LIMITATIONS
MAJOR OLIVER STEWART," M.C., A.F.C. the B.B.C. aviation expert, had some-interesting comments to make in a broadcast from London yesterday on the recent deve- lopments in, troop-carrying aircraft and the possibilities and limitations of this aspect of the air war in the future... In view of the large-scale manner in which the Germans have resorted to this in their recent operations, his re- marks are highly illuminating.

"Now all this has changed. - We have recently transferred munitions to Habbaniyah and used aeroplanes to evacuate women and children and I am sure we will now develop the idea of air-borne troops in the way the Germans have done. Anyway, wherever we fight, we must be prepared for this.
In Libya, air-borne troops and supplies have already been used by the Germans. It is a fairly easy trip for them from Sicily and there is no doubt that the enemy will make full use of this route. If the Germans make an attempt on Crete, they will use air-borne. troops for all their worth. They will drop their troops on the alr bases and try to seize these and use them intensively.
