j Marshal Petain records that |
i “during the Great War. in the [
(course of 112 air raid's carried out
! by 196 raiding airships and 441 [
i raiding airplanes, the Germans !
j discharged on British soil some 300
tons of these bombs. These caused
[serious damage as well as killing or
.Wounding 4.951 persons.”
The present British foreign min- j
'ister, Sir Samuel Hoare, told the ;
| house of commons when he was air i
minister: “Whereas in the late
war some 300 tons of be mbs were
dropped in this country by the
Germans. Air forces today could
drop almos' th esamj weight in the
first twenty-four hours and con-
tinue this scale of attack inde-
j flnitely.”-
But that statement was made 1
I on the basis of a British air staff |
estimate in 1926, nine years ago.,
Since that time such progress has j
been made, and such enormous ex-
pansion cf Europe's air forces has J
taken place, that according to gen-!
eral Groves. "The Scale of air at- j
tacks is now at a moderate esti-j
I mate three or four-thousand fold
greater than it was in 1918 and
the range from wThich it can be
delivered has since then been more
than doubled.”
Thus if 300 tons of bombs cause
5,000 casualties. 5.0C0 tons could
cause sixteen times more casualties
ior 80,000. It took four years to drop
| the 300 tons. Today the 5.000 could
| conceivably be dropped in twenty- ;
[four hours.
