— - BIG STRIDES SEEN ./ IFBONBDRIPRING ' Owing to the rapid development of Ingtruments for accuracy, bomb drop- Ding from airplanes will increase 100 Der cent in efficiency in the course of the néxt year, according to Capt. George A. Gray, formerly of the United States Alr Service, now in Washington. Capt. Gray is one af the pldest pilots In this country..having been continuously engaged im airplane ac- tivities as pllot, engineer and Inspéc- tors since 1910, when he first became identified with aviation under the tutelage of the Wright brothers. During the war he was sent on'a tour of inspection by the government to all of the great French and Eng- lish plants, particularly the English, Where he studied the various methods of bomb-dropping, location of troops. and photography as practiced by those countries. He is the possessor Aero Club of America for being t first man in the United States to dem- onstrate these important factors in the sclence of air fighting, being a member at the time of the National Guard of the states of New York and Vermont. Secret of Bomb Dropping. “The success of bomb-dropping.” said Capt. Gray to a representative of The Star, “depends not only on the planes specially built for the purpose, but on the development of Lomb-drop- ping devices. bomb sights and an in- strument now heing developed which shows the exact angle of the machine, when in flight “Since the recent tests off the Vir- ginia capes experts have been en- - gaged in the development of these , ®lght,” said Capt. —~ instruments, and they are now con- vinced that it is possible to perfect them to such an extent that a pilot will be able to drop a bomb with 100 per cent more accuracy than at the present time.” Capt. Gray stressed the fact that the SE-5 planes used for the most. part in the recent maneuvers were not bomb-dropping planes at all, but an emergency machine hurriedly de- veloped by the Engilsh for war pur- poses and now entirely obsolete. Planes Lack Bomb Sights. “These planes are equipped with the regular lens, instead of a bomb Gray, “and while they made exceptionally’ good marks, should not be considered as up-to- diss bomb-droppers.” 8o aviator said further that he ct.midered the altitude maintained at the recent tests as entirely too low. “They were in too close a vicinity to anti-aircraft gunfire.” said the offi- cer, “Which made it obvious to ex- pefee that a higher altitude was necesziry. When perfected the new bomb-&.mpping -instruments will per- mit of = altitude of at least 5,000 feet andtren allow for more accurate bomb-dropding than is being done at present ™ Capt. Groy was loud in his praise of the foresiZht of Gen. Willlam Mitchell, assistant chlef of the air service, whom, he: said, was awake to the value of accurate bomb-dropping_ as sAar bac® as 1915. “Gen. Mitchell has done yeoman service for the develop- ment of the air branch of the service, and-to him, as much as any one man, is dun the credit for the rapld strid :;k:: by the United s:atu in this ling e pas our or flve years," agen ¥ he Sees Marvelpus Changes. “I look. for maiVelous development in all bomb-dropping devices in the nett year” said Capt. Gray in con- clusion, “and I'am a strong advocate in the government concentrating all its efforts to that branch of the serv- ice, even in preference to battleship activities. As it is today, bomb-drop- ping from an airplane 'Is more ac- curate than a gunner on a battleship, and then think of the difference in cost. ! “You remember Secretary Danlels "said that he would be willing to stand on the bridge of a ship when a bomb was to be dropped from an air- plane. He surely wouldn't be here to tell the tale had he been on the - bridge at the recent tests, as the bridge was the first part of one ship to_be swept away.” ‘That Camp Meade will be the future headquarters of all government avia- tion is also predicted by Capt. Gray. “It is the loglical place,” he said. “All business to do with the service is here at Washington, and there is nothing at Dayton in particular to draw men interested in aviation to that city. ‘This. is the place for it, and I think the time is not far distant when it will be transferred here.” “Soiled isn't spoiled We Make ’em Blue and Green and gray or brown—de- pending’ ‘on which shade is MOST BECOMING.
