Lord Fisher writes: "By land and sea we are approaching prodigious aircraft development, which knocks out the present fleet, makes invasion practicable, cancels England being an island, and transforms the atmosphere into the battleground of the future. As locusts ■•warmed in Egypt so will airci'nft swarm in the heavens, carrying an inconceivable cargo of men and bombs, some acting as battle-cruisers and others as destroyers. All i.r« cheap, requiring only a few ninn us crew. No one's imagination can yet depict ill Vie have a star guiding us, if we only follow it. Imy to tho Primu Minister that the only tiling to do with tho ostriches who are spending millions on what will be a.s useful in tho next, war as bows and arrows is to sack the lot."—"Tho Time?."
