What reading level is Aroplanes And Dirigibles of War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The prizes offered were ;^500, £200, and £80 — $2, 500, $1, 000 and $400 — respectively, and were awarded to those who made the greatest number of hits.
BOMB-DROPPING 137 The conditions were by no means so onerous as those imposed in the Michelin contest, inasmuch as the altitude Umit was set at 660 feet, while no machine was to descend within 165 feet. The first competitor completely failed to hit the balloon. The second competitor flying at 800 feet landed seven bombs within the square, but o...nly one other competitor succeeded in placing one bomb within the space.
Bomb-dropping under the above conditions, however, is vastly dissimilar from such work under the grim realities of war. The airman has to act quickly, take his enemy by surprise, avail himself of any protective covering which may exist, and incur great risks. The opposing forces are over- whelmingly against him. The modem rifle, if fired vertically into the air, will hurl the bullet to a height of about 5, 000 feet, while the weapons which have been designed to combat aircraft have a range of 10, 000 feet or more.
