Captain PLUGGEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the attention of his Department has been called to the performances of Mr. Clem Sohn, who uses a special wing equipment of his own for the purposes of controlled descent from aeroplanes; and whether he will investigate the possibilities of this apparatus for practical use in war time?
