...dress. Supposed to have been entirely "British- made" by Norman Hartnell, Ltd. of London, Lady Alice's dress was in fact cut by M. Albert Cezard.

Because the 70-ft., metalclad monster with its four machine-gun turrets, 6-ton bomb capacity and speed of 256 m.p.h. was regarded as the greatest battle plane ever designed, two young officers, Lieutenants Leonard F.
