CATAPULT AIRCRAFT
Use of Merchant Ships (8.0.W.) RUGBY, August 29. ■ It is just a year since the idea put forward by Mr Churchill himself of the catapulting of aircraft from merchant ships in order to protect them from long-distance enemy bombers was put into practice. Before this a heavy toll of merchant ships had been taken by such raiders, but since the introduction of the catapulting of aircraft from merchant ships 12 months ago not a single merchant ship has been lost from long-range bomber attack on the normal ocean routes when ships equipped with catapult aircraft have been in convoy.
