American Bomber Effort In Britain
LONDON, March 6.
The commander of. the United States Air Forces in the European theatre (General Eaker), speaking at Bermondsey, London, in a‘ “Wings for Victory” campaign, said: “Your target of 20 Flying Fortresses as the quota in the national drive is a sacred challenge to us who fly these winged avengers of pain and suffering that' was yours in the great London blitz.” The R.A.F. was already approaching the goal of 1000 bombs for every Hun bomb. The American bombing effort had still a long (way to go to match the R.A.F.’s wonderful .achievement, but he confidently expected that American bomber effort in England would grow from the present token size to full equality of partnership with the R.A.F.
