An English writer critiques early war aviation by comparing Allied and German aircraft strength. The Royal Flying Corps started with about eighty-two serviceable planes relying on France for engines and Germany for magnetos, while Belgium, France, and Germany fielded hundreds of machines.

The piece highlights Britain's rapid wartime aeroplane construction, from hundreds in the first year to thousands in subsequent years, with plans for tens of thousands.
The German stance hardens over U S arms exports to the Entente as prolonging the war.
