Planes were hidden in nearby meadows when inspectors came through the factories. When the Allied Commission departed in 1926, Germany had the nucleus of a powerful...
Plans for practical field problems in the Statistical officers' duties are in the hatching stage. We cannot promise air-raids or strafing conditions for you to work through, but it is hoped that something akin thereto can be worked out. Quick, Albert, fetch me my tin hat, our Student Status Report in tardy...
