Abstract
AERIAL spraying has for long seemed to offer the only means of attacking swarms of winged locusts, and an article in Nature of March 6, 1948, outlined the history of tile latest attempt to develop this method. "We set out", wrote Dr. D. L. Gunn in that article "systematically to find whether air-craft methods are applicable to locust destruction and to work out where and when they may compete in effectiveness and in cost with other methods"- something that had not been done before. The full story of the attempt is now appearing ; the two present publications*⊺ show how formidable the task was and indicate the very remarkable level of teamwork achieved among the entomologists, physicists, chemists, meteorologists and airmen who were involved.
