| MICHELIN DURING THE WAR. |
| |
| As early as 1908 Michelin became interested in Aviation, and |
| foreseeing the possibilities of the aeroplane in warfare, he |
| instituted in 1911 the "Aerocible" Prize for accurate bomb |
| dropping. |
| |
| In 1912 Michelin sounded a note of warning in his famous |
| booklet "Notre Avenir est dans l'air." Throughout the war he |
| concentrated the whole of his energies and resources on the |
| study and production of bombing planes. |
| |
| Gen. Gallieni, of Marne fame, was so impressed with the results |
| obtained that he created and placed at Michelin's disposal a |
| special aviation ground at Aulnat, near Clermont-Ferrand. |
| |
| The French military authorities, in furtherance of their 1910 |
| aviation programme, requested Michelin to study all types of |
| bomb-dropping apparatus for use on French bombing planes. |
| |
| Michelin improvised an immense factory for the manufacture of |
| bombing planes at his tyre works in Clermont-Ferrand, giving |
| the first 100 planes to the army and supplying the balance at |
| cost of manufacture. |
| |
| Up to Armistice Day Michelin had supplied 1,864 bombing planes |
| to the allied armies. |
