Lonl Fisher, in a letter to the Time?, stales that he i* V-ly receiving pinprick inquiries as u> why he fails to describe the future air-navy and submersible warships. '•I don't wish to give other nations my ideas," says the Admiral, "but almost any fool could make the plans, they are so'idiotically simple. "That's the beauty of future warthere will be no mountains, rivers, protected harbors, or snow-bound passes; vou will just fly above these things and drop your multiple-ton bombs. There will be air types, as there were, formerly water tvpes, of destroyers, swifter than eagles, with a speed of 17'5 miles an hour guaranteed, with the equivalent of bat-tle-cruisers'. .
"Just when the air is clearly predominant my partner, Seely (who was Under-Secretary of State for Air) is sacked. Isn't it funny!"
