The Navy and the Air

In connection with the bombing tests of various warships by Army and Navy air forces it is interesting to hear an appreciation of air forces by “Quarterdeck”, a distinguished naval writer who contributes to The New York Tribune. Discussing the question as to what constitutes a strong navy, this writer expresses the view that battleships, however, strong their armament and powerful their portection be, are weak if they are not supplemented by certain forces that are essential to naval strength.
