Coffin, chairman of the naval consulting board’s committee on industrial prepared- ness, and formerly president of the American Engineering Socie-: ty. “Within three years from to- day the United States will have, an aerial arfny Europe cannot be- gin to equal, Within two years the entire mail service of the United States will be handled via | air craft. “Within the same period great passenger earrying airships will follow ‘air routes all over the, country. | “This is not a flight of faney but of fact. The explanation is simple: American industries can be co-ordinated and standardized. Europe’s cannot. What happened in the automobile industry proves that. In 1905 foreign’ cars were far ahead of ours. In 1909 the American engineers got together standardized their processes and paved the way for quantity pro- duetion. “Yoday there are 2,600,000 American. made cars running in the United States and of the 800,- 000 ears running in all other countries, more than half of them are American make. t “That's what will hapen in aerial development within a very, few years. The 20 million dollar: appropriation started the ball roll- ing. Our engineers are together for the first time on aif craft. “Our manufacturers are ready to pour hundreds of millions gf dollars -into the industry. “Europe’s aerial development has been neither healthy nor nor- mal. It has been too feverish. The fact that they were fighting among themselves prevents uni- | wi versal European standardization ; : hence prevents the aerial develop- ment we are on the way to. “T could take you to a within a few minutes’ ride of where we sit this minute and | show you a fighting aeroplane} that outstrips anything the’ Euro- peans have dreamed of. . “Tt is a plane with a seeret | automatie control which ean be started in’ the waters of Lake Michigan, skim the surface for a! given inumber of miles, automati- cally rise a given height in the air, go a prearranged and exact dis- ; tance in one or several directions and automatically alight at a giv- en point in Texas or elsewhere. , “This type of aeroplane will he developed into the self~ directing aerial torpedo, All this torpedo will need, as was said of the 42- centimeter gun, will be the ene- my’s address. i “We will have dirigibles of the Zeppelin type Germany will never have. | “We will, have fighting planes and scouts of such make up and in such numbers as.
