Letter from Lord Rothermere, Burghfield House, Dornoch, Sutherland, to WSC, asking if the publication of his supposition that Germany had between 10,000 and 20,000 aircraft would lay WSC open to "grave criticism". Stating that all of his information "corroborates my belief that Germany is building aeroplanes in series just like sewing machines or motor cars. We are not an air minded people and quite fail to comprehend that there is very little difference between the manufacture of an aeroplane and a first class motor car".
