30 Advertisements. JANUARY 9TH, 1941 N ACTIVE SERVICE w in Peace and War.. On and on the engines of a mighty bomber force, outward bound from Britain, roar in unison. Tonight the enemy is to sample again the accurate hitting power of our ever-increasing Air Force. 1,500 miles non-stop is a long way compared with the standards of a few years ago, but today this performance in fair weather and tcul with heavy loads is almost routine. Behind the unquestioned superiority of British aircraft lies the advance in the production of high-strength aluminium slloys. Pre-war development is now serving a national need. Aluminium alloys were intended to replace heavier metals in a wide range of peace-time applications—to take the brake of dead weight off all types of industrial equip- ment. But the Nation's needs come first and these uses must be left for another day. The lightness, strength and corro- sion resistance of aluminium are essential for war equipment. Problems concerning the use of alu- minium in aircraft construction are continually being investigated in our Research and Development Department. Consultations are invited.
