![Behind The: SKY FIGHTER
FUTURE
Future wars will be fought in the air. Squadrons of huge bombers
will attack cities far from their bases. And there will be defense planes
such as this Sky Fighter to combat them. Tiny, unbelievably fast, these
fighters will advance to intercept the oncoming bombers. Their pur-
pose will be to destroy the enemy before he comes within striking
distance. In principle, these tiny ships will bo a flying wing, with a
teardrop fuselage just adequate enough to carry its single pilot, a
powerful one-inch cannon in the nose, rapid-fire guns firing the latest
and deadliest incendiary bullets. Its new type pusher propeller with
motor behind the cockpit and inside the ship, to balance the pilot and
armament in the nose, will result in greater speed and efficiency. The
controls will be entirely in the wings, the ailerons serving to replace
the present day elevators. Situated as he is, the pilot will have full
vision on all sides, above, and below. He will have none of the dan-
gerous blind spots so vulnerable to surprise attack.
It seems possible that these speedy and deadly
fighters may easily make the big bombers obso-
lete before they leave the factory. See page 14
