SPEED IS 6SEAT JMTAOE Seaplanes Battle Submarines, Detect Mines and Rescue Seamen?Co-operation With Naval Vessels Robs German Campaign of Effectiveness ?biories cr uauy i-:gr.ts wouta Make Thrilling Epic. I 1 "As everyone knows, aircraft are used for many purposes in this war, tlnit most familiar to the public being the direction of artillery lire at the front/' writes a special correspondent in the London Daily Telegraph. "This is one of the ways in which aircraft preserves human life, but far more extensive in its consequences is the use of aircraft at sea to protect us from 1 onliiYio rlnn if nnt 111*7 OUI/lUtll iUV XJLUU 11. HVb been lor the co-operation of our aircraft, the antisubmarine campaign would have been far less effective, the people of Great Britain and certain of her allies would have been faced with stiffer rations, and the central powers would have been unduly elated. "Here are a few ligures relating to the work which naval aircraft performed during the month of September. 1017. The total distance covered by the patrols was 170,000 miles, of which 90,000 miles was covered by seaplanes and 80,090 miles by airships. - -1- ? ?L!^U un seven occasions snips which were : being attacked by submarine sent SOS signals, which brought seaplanes to their assistance in time to save them by compelling the subma, rincs to dive. Several hundreds of ships wese convoyed. | Speed a Big Advantage. "Unfortunately the number of submarines attacked and destroyed by our aircraft cannot be published, but , a few words may be said as to the | method of attack. When a destroyer ! sights a submarine some five or .six j miles awav, he goes full speed to the i attack at about thirty miles an hour, so that the submarine has ten minutes I or so in which to dive beyond the ; reach of the destroyer's depth charges. ! "But when a seaplane sights a subi marine at the same distance he flies ! to the ntfaek at anvthinz from SO to 100 miles an hour, so that the sub-: marine has only thn?e or four min-j utes before bombs begin to fall around j j her. It must cot be assumed, how-1 j ever, that destroyers have been super- j i seded by the seaplanes as the enemy j of submarines. On the contrary, the two very often work ~ together, and : i their co-operation usually spells disas- I ; ter to the U-boat. i "The stories of these fights, which j j are going on daily between seaplanes i 1 and submarines, would make a thrill- j i ing epic. Here is one which happened 1 ? ? ! j recently: A seaplane sign tea a ult-, ; man submarine on the surface, flew j directly ^ver her before she had a j | chance to dive, and dropped a bomb j on her tail which was seen to make a ; large hole in the deck. Immediately, afterward the seaplane pilot saw ! through the mist three nlore German j submarines, in line abreast, followed; ! by three-German destroyers, and es-: j corted by two Gorman seaplanes. All j j six vessels fired their antiaircraft; j guns at our seaplane but the German' seaplanes did not attack because they; I could Tiot get through the barrage put; ! up by the fire of their own destroyers, \ Calls British Warships. | "Our seaplane turned, dropped an- j other bomb on the wounded submarine, I saw her sink amidst a pool of oil, in, which fragments of he" floated, and j then retired gracefully from an unequal contest, "This incessant and ruthless warfare against the U-boat by naval aircraft has been one of the main factors in defeating Germany's aims and in saving j the people of this country from the j starvation which Germany has tried j j to inflict upon them. But onrj i seaplnnes save life in other ways. As j ! fllrendv mentioned, their mere presence I has many times saved a merchant ship when a submarine has been attacking ! it. Moreover, when the tragedy has actually occurred and the torpedo hasj found its mark, it is the seaplane which } Is the first to see the shipwrecked: crews in their boats, to send wireless i messages for assistance and to direct ! j the rescuers to the right spot. "it is rne seaplane ami ui? uuit-i an- , craft which first sight the deadly mine, J and so help the minesweepers in their ; j task. In a word, it is the naval air-! i craft which has been, and is, saving the lives not only of those who traverse j the seas, but of every man, woman j and child in the British isles, who oth-1 erwise would be threatened with star-! vation. The strike at Coventry already | has been a serious blow to the empire; | a repetition there or elsewhere would j be a disaster which cannot be contem- j plated, for the consequences woald be so far-reaching that no one could properly estimate them. "Without a constant stream of new aircraft to replace the inevitable heavy wastage in machines tne struggle I against the German submarines will be prolonged, food become dearer, and last, but not least, the lives of our sailI ors exposed and in many cases needlessly lost. This is a war necessitating complete co-operation of die whole of j the British empire, and in the event of j: lack of aircraft the eyes of the navy jj will grow dira." Mrs. A. B.
