FAST BOMBER
NEW AND IMPROVED BRITISH MACHINE. HUNDREDS ALREADY DELIVERED. RUGBY, November 2. The speed and range of the fastest bomber jet in service in the Royal Air Force is greatlj' enhanced in a modified version of the Bristol Blenheim monoplane, which is in large production in three factories. Hundreds of these formidable craft have already been delivered to squadrons. The introduction of ingenious changes in design gives the new Blenheim a top speed of 295 miles an hour —a speed outstanding in a bomber. This performance is obtained without the sacrifice of essential bombing requirements. Carrying a full military load, the modified Blenheim will fly non-stop for 1900 miles. The plane will be on view at the Paris Aeronautical Exhibition opening on November 25. .
