When German aero­ planes drop a bomb it is on or near some industrial area. The training' of an air force and particularly night flying is seriously affected. Canada has been .selected where the maximum tof training can be done. When sufficient airports have been built for the purpose, Canada, Great- Britain,# Australia and New Zealand, as well as some from India, will use these airports for training purposes. .They will be trained in a locality that is fairly safe. When you consider the number being trained, the percentage of accidents is very small.
