Very remarkable results in quick production have been shown by British manufacturers. Among the aircraft now leaving the factories in large numbers weekly the world's fastest bombers and machines capable of ranges and carrying powers far superior to any formerly in service.
The fastest bomber, a twin-engined mid-wing monoplane, is scheduled for supplementary production in one of the "shadow" factories set up with state financial aid to form a reserve source of supply in time of emergency. Its official maximum level speed, with full military load, is 280 m.p.h. Similar craft sold to Yugoslavia are reported to have reached 294 mph. in timed governmental tests. Range and capacity of the first all-geodetic bomber, a single-engined monoplane, have decided its choice for equipment of the new long range flight which may set a new world record for distance flown non-stop some time in 1938. Three of these aeroplanes, carrying special equipment in place of military load, are being prepared for the long range flying experiments.
