PORT BURWELL, ONT Established 1912 BRITAIN'S NEW PLANES Bombers for Eastern Germany "In the Spring" How the Nazis lost the first Battle for Britain through their own "effic- iency" in planning It some years aheadappears from a review of the race for air sapreruacy given in an interview by Major F. A. de V. Rob- ertson, the British aeronautical auth- ority. "ht time of war," he explains, "one of the great difficulties of a belligerent Power Is to maintain the supply of aircraft while at the same time arranging for the production in quantity of new types. It is no simple or quick matter to convert a factory from production of one type to pro- duction of something quite different. All .through the early months of the present war Germany suffered from having arranged some five years ago for the manufacture itt large quanti- ties of the Heinkel 111 bomber and the Messersehmidt 109 lighter, By 1939 both had been outclassed by British types, and it was months be- fore the Junkers 88 bomber and the Messerschmidt 110 twin -engined fighter, both improved types, appear- ed in any numbers. "But, whatever the difficulties;" he went ou, "both sides are obliged to make arrangements for turning out. new types, for fear of being utterly defeated in the air. Senior officers of the R. A.

It was presently defeated by the FE, 2nd. and the D.11,2, Then the Germans got ahead again with an Albatros fighter and the Fokker triplane, which in turn were countered by the Sopwith Camel and the S. E, Is, "In the present war," said Major Robertson, the ILA. F. fighters, the Hurricane and the Spitfire, with their eight machine guns apiece, have easily dominated the air. They have forced the Germans to 'put armour into their machines, which calls for the use of shell -firing guns on our side. The Wellington has been called the `best bomber in the world,' while the Whitley and Hampden have also clone grand bombing work. Nor should we Forget the medium bomber, the Blenheim nor that ex- cellent flying boat, the Sunderland. "Still, we must improve on past performance, and for regular raiding of targets in Eastern Germany still longer range is desirable- The spring will surely see new types in action. Recently the Beaufort .,torpedo - bomber has been at work, and has sunk thousands of tons of enemy shipping. An American journalist has published an article which professed to give a lot of information about coming R. A.F. machines, but he was not right In all his particulars, and it would not do to help the enemy by correcting him. However, the Minis- ter of Aircraft Production, Lord Beaverbrook, himself mentioned the 'Whirlwind fighter in a recent broad- cast. It is a fighter of unusual de- sign, and it is safe to forecast that its speed, gum power, and other characteristics will not endear it to the Axis airmen.

Most modern monoplanes have their wings placed low on the sides of the fuselage. 'but the Botha is of the high -wing class and therefore looks unusual. Of course, no figures of its speed and range may he published, but it may be said that the importance of recon- naissance cannot be exaggerated. The R. A. F. has to watch the coasts of Europe front Norway to Bordeaux. and to patrol far out into the At- lantic. Moreover, its reconnoitring machines must be able to drop bombs, to fight on occasions. and some of them can launch torpedoes. "The R. A. F. aims at ever greater range in its bombers and reconnais- sauce machines, and, in its fighters, at greater speed, greater fighting power, and a high degree manoeuv- rability. British designers are well qualified to comply with these de- mands."
