Tests of air at Washington and Hampton Roads
Washington June 29. Exhaustive tests of dirigibles and aeroplanes in war will be held at Hampton Roads around August first in naval maneuvers. Live ammunition will be used on aircraft to judge how navy guns can counter air assaults with airships. Large kite shapes mimic aircraft as manned dirigibles with dummies attack fortifications while ships fire. Trials will compare 3 and 6 inch artillery and allow captains to employ own theories. A trophy will be awarded to best performance. Similar tests will occur at Sandy Hook. A new percussion cap for balloons may enable a single hit to end a dirigible threat.
