BRITISH SAFETY DEVICE.
LONDON. Nov. 19. Sir Samuel Hoare is most impressed with the flight of the army aeroplane fitted with slotted wings. The test was most thrilling. The machine did safely all the tilings it should not have done, including some which formerly meant certain death. Sir Samuel Hoare said it was gratifying that from first to last this was a Britsh contribution to aviation. Success was the result of private and official co-operation. The Air Ministry has ordered all official aircraft to be fitted with slotted wings, except the single fighter class, which adaptation may be possible later.
