To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its ground level speed of 118 miles an hour was markedly greater than that of the Caproni or the Handley-Page and it was evi- dent that its ceiling of probably more than eigh- Night-Bombing Machines 169 teen thousand feet would be greater than that of the Caproni. Had the war continued the Martin would probably have been the basis of the future American heavy bombing squadrons. Although the Martin bomber did not reach the production stage in time to be a factor in the war, the time and effort s...pent on it have not been wasted. It can be used for mail and express carry- ing and the transportation of freight and passen- gers. It can carry eleven passengers or in lieu of them a ton of mail. The air service is using the Martin machine for training purposes and is equip- ping it for forest border and coast service work. Thus in the night-bombers, as in practically every other feature of the aircraft construction policy, these two things were done: (i) the most suitable designs were taken up; and (2) American designs were encouraged.
