Orderly in airborne attack (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neat

'orderly' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'in airborne attack' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'NEAT' can be found hidden inside 'airborne attack'.

(Other definitions for neat that I've seen before include "avoiding water?" , "beef" , "Alcoholic drink without a mixer" , "Tidy - undiluted" , "bull, eg" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
