The reply of Captain Guest, the air minister, -was exactly calcuwated to make nervous people feel comfort- able. - He said that while the coun- try in 1920 had 186 civil airplanes fit for war, it now had only 83 and these ywere of 28 different types. This year there are only 13 machines actua'yy flying in regular service. The Air League of the British em- pire, which aims to do for the air ‘force what the Navy League does for the navy, saw in the turn affairs had taken a chance to do some effective propaganda work, and issued a state- ment of which this is the gist. The total strength of the Royal air force in these islands i{s 12 squadrons of which a percentage ‘are skeleton formations. No provision has been made to en- sure that civil machines and person- nel shall take part in the aerial de- fense of the country in case of war.
