Native Princes Help Training stations of the Indian Air

Force are being opened in India, where native Princes have given large sums for the development of air defence. The Nizam of Hyderabad is financing an entire Air Force squadron, Pilots are also being instructed in Iraq, where fuel is immediately available.

Numbers of pupils from Australia and New Zealand will be trained in Egypt under exceptionally favourable climatic conditions.
