HC Deb 03 April 1917 vol 92 c1100
29. Mr. BILLING

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will consider the advisability of organising a raiding squadron composed of pilots and machines at present unemployed in this country?

Dr. MACNAMARA

All the possibilities, of employing aircraft are fully considered by those responsible. All the machines in this country have a definite purpose in view.
