Fonck warns cities vulnerable from air attacks
Paris veteran ace Captain Rene Fonck warned that every European capital, including London and Paris, would be vulnerable to enemy air attacks within thirty minutes. He claimed Germany's air force may now exceed France in strength and noted faster German planes with high powered engines. Fonck said mixed bombers can reach targets without defense, citing greater load capacity and destruction power since World War I, and warned Britain lacks sufficient material while the United States has good planes and pilots. He urged vigilance as air warfare evolves rapidly.
