U.S. To Build 74,000 Planes Next Year
WASHINGTON, June 29
“The United States plans to build 74,000 combat planes during the fiscal year beginning on July 1, comprising 28,000 fighters and 36,000 bombers,’ 1 said the Commander-in-Chief (General Arnold), giving evidence before the Senate Appropriations Committee. “Early in 1944 the United States will have air forces superior both in numbers and quality to those of every enemy we are opposing. Conditions are different from those when 1 last appeared here, when-we were called on to feed eight different theatres in the four corners of the world, when we had no equipment or personnel and when every theatre commander rightly thought his job the biggest in the war.”
