Gray, mountainous "battle wagons" and slender, syphil-like destroyers are gathering at the Atlantic fleet rendezvous in Lynnhaven roads today, while air stations along the coast are humming with the sound of tuning of air motors, as the army and navy prepare for tests tomorrow which will go a long way toward settling the controversy as to the value of aircraft in naval warfare. Tomorrow morning, the old battleship Iowa will become a theoretical enemy attacking the coast of the United States and the sole defense against this enemy will be from the air by combined army and naval air forces. The Iowa will be controlled entirely by radio, operated from the battleship Ohio, and will be unmanned. Her position will be somewhere 100 miles off the coast between Pape Henelopen and Cape Hatteras. The problem of the air craft will be to find the "enemy" and then attack the enemy from the air with bombs and demonstrate that no enemy craft could launch a successful attack upon American shores against erial defenses.
