AMERICAN FIGHTING PLANES. COLONEL KNOX REPLIES TO CRITICS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, January 11. It is reported from Washington that the Secretary for the Navy, Colonel Knox, contributing to the magazine, “Flying,” says that so-called experts who criticise the Navy planes as being under-gunned would be still interested to learn that the Grumman Wildcat ‘“packs even more of a wallop” than the famed Spitfire. Colonel Knox adds that not only are American fighters superior, but the dive-bombers and torpedo-planes are the “world’s strongest and mftst heavily armed.”
