Toward the end of the war Captain
Boucher sent up the first of these air-
planes guided by means of Hertsian
waves. On Sept. 14 of the same year
an airplane thus guided remained in
the air fifty-one minutes. covering a
total distance of 100 kilometers, or
sixty miles. It was guided rrom an-
other airplane dyius in the ordinary
way.
