3 MARCH 1928, Page 20

The March number of Air (Is.) contains an important article

by General Groves, pointing out that while we are spending £100,000,000 on the supposition that war may recur, we are neglecting to provide for the essentials of adequate air defence. Far be it from us to urge any unnecessary increase in arma- ments. But aerial defence is far cheaper than naval, and far more effective. A very attractive number contains some reminiscences of " Joyous Air Travel," by an author whose adventures were first told in the Spectator.
