In subsection (a) the words ‘‘including aircraft’’ are
omitted as covered by subsection (b). The section is
written to make the words ‘‘during war’’ applicable to
the entire chapter. These words appear in 34 U.S.C. 1159,
but not in 34 U.S.C. 1131. Prize is historically and uni-
formly treated as a war-time matter, so no substantive
change result
