Army observers argued guns could defend towns, but air officers and pilots praised the results, noting aircraft would threaten enemy shores despite gunfire limitations. The demonstrations featured bombardiers and chased planes, with heavy batteries firing hundreds of rounds as crews debated coastal defense efficacy.
