Night [underline]

   Night attacks will be made similarly to day attacks except that the target may be approached more closely. 

   In case night attack in formation is inadvisable due to thick weather or other causes, planes will be dispatched singly at two minute intervals over a predetermined course. Each plane will be given a number which will be sent, upon return, to the airdrone by means of radio or blinker. This signal will be answered by displaying a green light and lighting the airdrone landing lights until the plane in question has landed.
