“RAID” ON NEW YORK
AIR ARMADA DROPS THEORY BOMBS FLEET OF 131 PLANES Reed. 10 a.m. NEW YORK, Friday. This city was a target today for 131 bombing fighting airplanes of the United States Navy, which were engaged in a theoretical raid to reveal how vulnerable New York is from the air. Huge triple-engined Martin bombers, each capable of bearing tons of high explosives, lesser bombing planes, battle planes for the protection of these, and swift pursuit planes to drive off the attacking enemy planes, participated in a manoeuvre over Times Square, and then the air armada swept southward carrying out theoretical attacks elsewhere on its way to their berths aboard the air-plane-carrier Lexington, Langley and Saratoga at Hampton Roads, Virginia.
