Drum urged the board to con- sider carefully the powers and limita- aircraft, saying many ex- aggerated statements had been made. Turning to a_discussion of the anti- aircraft guns, he declared an erroneous impression had been given the coun- try that the War Department looked upon ground fire as adequate protec- tion against air attack. He said he himself had been misquoted as say- ing he could protect New York City from an air attack with a battery of nch guns. The general then quoted from the record of the House aircraft commit- tee his testimony as follows: “T feel this, speaking from my per- sonal experience, that if you will give me, say, 12 antialrcraft guns of 3- inch caliber, I will keep within range of these guns any bomber from doing serfous destruction.” WORK REACHES DENVER.
