LONDON, January 7.
The "Gazette" states that in connexion with the expansion of Borne air defences- the Air Ministry has ordered thirty giant Handley-Page night bombera, designed to attack enemy aerodromes. They are driven by two Napier engines, totalling 1000 horsepower, and are painted a greenishbrown, which experiments have proved to render them almost invisible at night, even in the rays of a searchlight.
