One Unwelcome Way of Greeting Enemy Aeroplanes 



To guard the shores of Long Island, New 

 York, against aerial attacks the Government 

 has installed a five hundred million-candle- 

 power searchlight on the aviation field at 

 Hempstead. The light is to be used in co- 

 operation with anti-aircraft guns, to locate 

 and destroy any invading enemy craft 



To test the searchlight, aviators will go up in 

 biplanes, followed by "enemy" craft. The 

 huge light will "find" the enemy, after which 

 our aviators will emerge from the darkness 

 and give chase. If any of the enemy escape, 

 our men are supposed to follow them beyond 

 the searchlight radius until they are captured
