1907. June 12. Wednesday. at Baddeck 73 Herald Washington D.C. 7 Apr - 1907 AIR SHIPS USED AS TARGETS. -- German War Office to Carry on Series of Important Experiments. Berlin, April 6.—Imperial Councilor Martin's recently published book on battles in middair gives peculiar interest to some experiments which the German war office has decided to carry out. Balloons and air ships are to be made the targets of gun and rifle fire, to throw light on the important question of the damage that may be done to them, and also on the effectiveness of balloons and air ships to inflict destruction on fortifications and camps and troops on the march in time of war. The experiments will be made in the vicinity of Danzig. Small balloons of the capacity of 2,500 cubic feet will be let loose and, after traveling a certain distance, rifle fire and guns will be trained on them as long as practicable. Other balloons will be held captive by cables 3,000 feet in length, attached to war ships, which will tow them within range of the coast batteries at ranges varying from three to nine miles. The experiments will be witnessed by officers of the general staff, artillery officers, naval officers, and officers of the balloon department. Pilot - Norfolk. Va. 7 Apr 1907. LONDON-NEW YORK IN HALF A DAY BY AIRSHIP -- This Will Be Accomplished Within Fifteen Years, Declares Jose Weiss—Progress In Aerial Inventions -- London, March 6.—Jose Weiss, the latest inventor of an airship, interviewed upon the subject said: "Within fifteen years New York vill be twelve hours distant from London,' a speed of 250 miles an hour being achieved with flying machines of the fixed bird-wing type gliders. Mr. Weiss explains in detail the experiments he is making with gliders and his future plans so far as these can be foreseen. His first step towards the conquest of the air will be to obtain mastery over the balance of the simple glider This consistes essentially of a hollow bird body with two fixed outstretched bird wings curving upward at the tips The aeronaut kneels inside the body park and by moving his body slightly back and forward he is expected to learn to adjust the center of gravity of the contrivance so that is coincides with the center of the air pressure— the essential principle of aerial flight discovered by Mr. Weiss. The glider is steered to the right or left by slightly raising a small part of the right or left wing.
