Balloon and automobile guns duel in French air maneuvers
A French air maneuver over Toul featured Lebaudy dirigible balloons bombarding forts with blank cartridges while swift automobiles followed and fired light guns. Umpires credited the balloon attack but noted the automobile batteries defended the forts effectively. The airship reached 4500 feet, maneuvered against wind, and dropped blank cartridges that hit the fortifications as autos provided cover and later targets. Further tests will continue for weeks.
