986. Mr. Bolard More25 and Colonel Fuqua26 have recently ascertained from separate sources that a score or more American airplanes (said to be “Grummans”) are now at the Cardedeu airfield near Granollers. Colonel Fuqua has obtained confirmation of this at the Office of the Sub-Secretary for Air and when he acquires further information which he expects to do in a few days he will submit a telegraphic report direct to the Department of War.
