Air Defence Territorials LAST March it was announced that the Territorial Army would be placed in charge of anti-aircraft coast defence, and would be re-organised for that purpose. This re-organisation has now been completed, and the new scheme will come into effect next April. A number of batteries, heavy, medium, and field, of the Territorial artillery have been converted into anti-aircraft batteries stationed along the south coast of England. Men up to 50 years of age are accepted for this service, provided that they do not number more than 33£ per cent, of the strength of a unit. For practice in peace and for service s § s in war, the men will work in the localities in which they live and with which they are familiar. This re-organisa tion should make easier the desirable transference of all elements of air defence to the complete control of the Air Ministry. The change from the Territorial Army to the Auxiliary Air Force would not affect the men much, and would greatly increase our national safety. Flying Boat Development Flight, Felixstowe THE " Flying Boat Development Flight " was merged into "A" and " B " Flights of the Marine Aircraft Experi mental Establishment, Felixstowe, with effect from May 14, 1932. A NEW BOEING PURSUIT PLANE : Marking a radical departure in the construction of pursuit type aeroplanes, the Boeing Airplane Company of Seattle has built and delivered to the U.S. Army Air Corps three experimental low-wing, all-metal, " Wasp "-powered fighters, designated by the Army as Model XP 936. 1099
