The bombarding- of Berlin fpom
the air Is not far from realization.
American airplanes and American
aviators will take part in the great
est air raid of the war when it
takes place.
It is possible the allies may drop
bombs on Berlin this fail( and al
most certain that the kaiser will be
routed out of bed in Potsd'am pa.1
alc* by an air bomb next spring at
the latest. >
This ia the belief of General w. &
Branch er controller-general of
equipment of the British air minis
try, who has been in this country
for several weeks in consultation
with government officials in charge
o* aviation.
"It 1$ within the realm of cer
•anty," says General Brancher, "that
we can send a fleet of airplanes to
bombard Berlin in the spring, if not
this fall, as we have repeatedly
oomhed Cologne and other cities on
the Rhine.
"We have not sufficient planes
for a really big offensive, in my
understanding of the term. We
have plenty of airplanes and can
build plenty more, but we lack en
gines, and' we have about reached
capacity in engine production.
"We need America's neip, ner
greal resources and her men. To get
the best results, the creation of a
secretary of air forces, or the equiv
alent under whom air fighting, air
olar.e production, equipment an
personnel will be a separate branch
of combst, just as the army or the
nav.- will be advisable.
"We have built up a big airplane
program to taJce the Liberty motor
and oomb Germany, but America
cannot now spare these motors, and
so I fear our airplanes will be wast
ed and the real offensive from the
air seriously delayed. Your air
forces ought to be organized on a
tremendous scale, and that is what
we look to America to do.'*
Tn General Brancher's opinion, if
it is possible to fly to Berlin and
back, which is more than 800 miles,
»ne llight across the Atlantic from
Newfoundland to the Azores (the
longest lap of the Journey) which
Is 1200 miles, can be made. This
will mean an organizatio, air
dromes and repair plants in New
foundland and the Azores.
