Excerpt from Aircraft in Peace and the Law The Sub-Committee of the Civil Aerial Transport Committee, in its report of 2 January, 1918, makes the following statement: - "Since the outbreak of war the principle of State sovereignty over the air has been generally claimed, and, except by Germany, recognised, Holland, Denmark, and Switzerland have consistently regarded the passage of belligerent aircraft over their territory as an unneutral act, and taken active steps to vindicate their rights." This statement of the position goes at once too far and not far enough. It implies, first, that Germany disputed the principle of air sovereignty and that all other Powers concerned, including Great Britain, did not, and, secondly, that - the purpose being to show the general enforcement by neutral Powers of their air sovereignty - the instances of opposition to belligerent entry are furnished by the three neutral States expressly named.
