PLANNING TO BOMB
EUROPEAN POWERS’ PLANES. “There is no doubt that we Europeans are planning to bomb each other,” said Mr Geoffrey Mander, M.P., speaking in the House of Commons. “It is not easy to give exact figures because all the machines are not the same, and some bombers in this country are also fighters. I believe the figures to be reasonably accurate. In regard to Great Britain the figures are: Bombers, 70 per cent; fighters, 30; Germany, bombers, 66 per cent; fighters, 33. The figures for France are the same. Italy, bombers, 50 per cent and fighters, 50. Russia is the some 50-50. It is a very horrible thing to contemplate.”
