The article profiles Lester Barlow and Frankford arsenal advances, describing a new aerial torpedo that explodes five to six feet above ground, works from any drop height, and requires no altitude calculations by the pilot. Tests at Mineola and plans for expanding delivery to two to twelve torpedoes per aircraft are noted along with Barlow's background.
