It is so enormous that, even in the largest hangar that could be found, it must be built in three sections --wing, fuselage and tail-which will have to be as- sembled outside.

The sreret plans for the 1.19 wern stolen last year, but were afterwards

ecovered.

The new bomber, which will cost over £200.000, will weigh at least! Seventy tons loaded.

It has a wing span of 212 feet and is 135 feet long.

It can carry a 28-ton load, and its speed is 200′′ intp.h
