By the Associated Press. | PANAMA, February 20.—An “enemy” fleet of 22 hydro-airplanes has theoretically destroyed both the Navy and Army air stations at the At- lantic entrance to the Panama Canal and assumed full air control over the waterway. The attacking aircraft came from a scout fleet 30 miles at sea. This statement was made yesterday by Gen. W. H. Martin, commanding the Panama Canal garrison, who de- clared that the canal air defenses are inadequately equipped ana that the cunal would be easy prey for an enemy air fleet. This statement was made in connection with u war game car- ried out by the United States fleet. “The garrison forces proved highly efficient in defending the canal,” says the report of Gen. Martin, “but they were inadequate in number. The plans for defense are sound.
