Spain: Intelligence Regarding Air Warfare. Report No. 1 - Anti-Aircraft (Artillery) Defence. Comments Submitted by the War Office

1 Jun 1937

6. The main point to which the evidence leads seems to us to be that A.A. units, unco-ordinated in any general scheme of defence, and often badly trained, poorly armed and deprived of the instruments which we consider essential, have managed, nevertheless, to achieve important results, and to force bombers to fly high with consequent lack of accuracy. 7. Appendix (a) German paragraph 1 is not quite clear to us. The "distance apart", line 12, is presumably between section (a) and section (b)? We do not understand at all what is meant in second sub-paragraph "the sound locators, etc., are reported to operate in the following order, etc." War Office.
