AEROPLANES AND WAR.
. LESSONS OF RECENT MANOEUVRES. , By Telegraph-Prees Association—Copyright. , (Rec. Sept. 20, 10.40 p.m.) London, Soptember 20. Mr. Belloc, M.P., ■in an article in •the "Daily'-Express,'! dealing with, the Piciirdy manoeuvres,/say's 'every expert .opinion .as to the' vulnerability of : aeroplanes is. insufficient to destroy " their claims to efficiency. • ■ They ; are practically immune'from .rifle fire owing to the difficulty, of finding the range. A light gun mounted\on: a; motor-car followed the aeroplanes'for two days at Picardy, but failed to ■ hit an aeroplane. Reconnaissance must be counteracted by other; areoplanes, and the force possessing superiority in aeroplanes would destroy the. secrecy disposition of the hostile force and have the. enemy in its hand. .
