FINDING A 'PLANE 50 MILES OFF
The detection of approaching aeroplanes is being rapidly developed. The latest report on the subject is from America, where, it is said, the United States Army has devised a detector so sensitive that it can find a 'plane at a distance of over 50 miles, and thus give an attacked post a chance to get ready to defend. The invention is said to use electric waves and to be capable of operating successfully in darkness or fog.
