AIR MENACE TO CIVILIANS

SOME FINE TARGETS

By RICHARD FINDLAY (Former R.A.F. War Pilot)

TF war were to break out again

the conditions of warfare would be found to be greatly changed. During the Great War bombing aircraft were only just beginning to And their true sphere. In the Royal Air Force only nine bomb- ing squadrons were datached as a Reparate force for attacks upon civilian centres, while on the Ger man'side the attacks upon England wore made by a relatively small number of aircraft. But, if this country is again embroiled in Continental disputa with another nation within attacking distance of our shores, bombing aircraft will be found to have the striking power of long-range heavy guns. Raiding aircraft would in the first instance be directed against certain definite objectives, the destruction of which would have for its aim the curtailment of our military power. Attacks would be launched against important, muni- tion centres, centres of aircraft and acro-engine production, nero- dromes, fuel depots, harbours,

AUTOGIRO FOR NAVY."

CRADLE INVENTION FOR TAKE-OFF

VERTICAL FLIGHTS

The Navy is to have its first nutogiro in less than iwo months' time, says the Morning Post' Naval Correspondent. The machino will, I understand, be attached to the aircraft carrier Courageous. Soveral officers of the Fleet Air Arm have already visited Old Sarum Aerodrome to gain exper- lence in the handling of autogiros,

The autogiro will be used for carrying out a number of trials to determine the exact use of such machines in the Fleet Air Arm.

The fact that the Admirally are now to have an autogiro for ex- perimental purposes is of particu- | lar interest in vlow of the An- nouncement last week of Senor de la Clerva, the inventor, to the Aeronautical Society that the pro- blem of vertical flight had been overcome.

Vertical flight will be of the greatest advantage for autogiros working from ships not having. Alght decks or landing platforms. It will also make far more prae- ticable an invention for which a provisional patent has already been taken out. This consists of A cradle which can be hoisted aver the side of a ship on a davit or derrick, and which can be used for the taking off and landing of an autogiro without an undercarri-
