To Fly Across Our Shores" DEATH SCREEN

IN

PARALYSES ENGINES

By A Special Air Correspondent

London, Nov. 30.

N five years from now Britain will be protected from the highest |

and fastest flying bombers by an Invisible, but inescapable, barrier of rays.- -

This statement was made to me yesterday by a high official of the Air Ministry--a man who has watched the development of the so-called death ray from the earliest experiments.

At tests made recently under conditions of great secrecy the ray completely paralysed the engine of a bomber flying at n height of several thousand feet.

The pilot had no choice but to glide to earth in a forced landing.

The subject of the ray is regarded with great importance

in the Air Ministry. For it is obvious that with increased power and more elaborate apparatus this ray must be employed us Britain's front-line aerial defence.

"If the

experiments continue 03 successfully as up to the present it will be possible to form an invisible barrier around Britain' which will totally incapacitate bombers flying) at 25,000 or 30,000 feet,” I was told, - Two or ΠΟΤΕ scientists, working privately in selected laboratories, are the men who.

"War-time" Tests

Further experiments in which the pilotless type of planes is likely to be employed are to be carried out to test the effectiveness of higher- powered rays.

The new tests will employ electri- cal power similar to that available in the event of war, when a vast

supply of surplus electrical energy is available during a "black-out."

Diverted to the apparatus designed to send out the death ray this electrical power will provide a screen through which, the relentisis confident, ne aerial invader canḥ pass.
