PLANES 10 BOVB | THO BATTESHPS Experts Expect Superiority of Air Fighters to Be Shown Conclusively. By the Associated Pres: NEWPORT NEWS, Va., August 31. —Air experts believe that the superi- ority of the alrplane over the battle- £hip will be demonstrated for all time when planes from Langley Fleld attack the oid battleships Virginia and New Jersey, off Cape Hatteras, September 5. The battleships now are moving southward from Boston, and the airmen will leave Langley Monday for Hatteras, many of them fiying down the coast. The second bombardment squadron of Langley Field, thé only one of its kind in the world, will launch an air attack early on the morning of Sep- tember 5. weather permitting. Maj John N. Reynolds will command the bombing group. Officers to See Tests. Three squadrons of Martin bombers, composed of nine planes each, willl| proceed from Langley-Field to the Hatteras airdome, obtain their bombs and supplies there and seek out the objects of their attack. The_tests will be witnessed by Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the Army alr service, and several ranking officers of the Army and Navy. One of the vessels will be attacked by one squadron carrying 1,100-pound TNT bombs. The airmen are certain the ship ,will go down as a result of this attack and no arrangements have been made for sinking of the ships by naval guns in case of failure by _the airplanes. The other ship will be attacked by ccond squadron, each plane of vhich will be armed with one 2,000- bomb containing the same ly explosive. This time_there will be no group of naval officers to claim that air- planes cannot sink ships and all the uttention of every one will be devoted as it strikes. For this purpose there will be nearby a number of observers, Loth from the Army and the Navy. Extra Afrmen Called. The second bombardiment group has been built up for these important Taneuvers by the assignment of a number of men from Kelly Fleld, San . The group now consists of dquarters detachment, the 59th Service Squadron and the 96th, 20th and 11th Bombardment Squadrons. Each of the bombardment squadrons, Which handle the actual work of the group, is equipped with nine Martin bombsrs of the latest type. One of the precautionary measures to be taken while the bombing tests | are in progress will be a patrol by five destrovers, which will steam be- tween Langley and Cape Hatteras so as to be in position to take on the erew of any plane that may be forc- e€d down at sea. Parachutes and Kapok ve will be worn by each of the fliers as an additional precau- tion against dangers of a forced landing ~§1.250000 FRAUD PLACED ON OIL MEN Black Panther Company| President and Treasurer ¢ Convicted of Conspiracy.
