BOMBING ATTACKS
EXPERIENCE IN SPAIN FAST PLANES AT SOME DISADVANTAGE. FACTOR OF GROUND DEFENCE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 9.0 a.m.) LONDON, December 28. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Barcelona correspondent, examining the merits of air offensives in modern warfare, points out that Spanish experience has shown that the great speed of the latest machines results in definite disadvantages, makes accurate bombing and machinegunning most difficult, and necessitates the maintenance of large reserves of skilled pilots and longer training. The correspondent adds that there have been examples of remarkably accurate bombing in Spain, but these have mostly occurred when there was no opposition from ground defences.
