London Daily Express prints an article from H G Wells advocating air superiority as the decisive path to defeat Germany. Wells argues aerial fleets, with thousands of planes, would destroy German industry and blitz enemy arsenals, making ground offensives unnecessary. He asserts air power is cheaper and quicker than battleships to end the war, aiming for mass production and continuous bombing.
