NEW FRENCH SPADS FLY CIRCLES AROUND GERMAN TYPES
Paris Aug 3 The Coche aero planes were kept low before the Marne offensive for two reasons first to reduce losses and second to be used in mass on the Chemin des Dames sector. French SPADs with Hispano Suiza engines dominate the air, circling faster German types and outclassing Fokker and Albatros models. German planes use fixed Mercedes motors 160 to 200 hp and double machine guns. The Allies expect the Liberty motor to compete with Hispano Suiza.
