Billy Mitchells Ideas Revealed Prophet Foretells Rockets
Frances Spatz, Washington June 9. A friend of Gen Billy Mitchell, prophet of aerial warfare, says the WWI zero also foresaw rocket bombs and the dirigible for defense and world commerce. Col James E Cassidy, chief engineer of United Nations Airships, recalls Mitchell’s plans for a fleet of airships as coastal patrol and submarine spotting carriers, noting helium makes blimps safer. Cassidy cites a 1922 dummy rocket test and asserts postwar airships could travel 85 mph, filling a speed gap between steamers and airplanes. He notes 1926 recommendations for a fleet of 26 airships and pending routes from Washington to Bombay and a Pacific route to Manila and Singapore.
