JET-PROPELLED PLANES
GERMAN MACHINES HEAVY TOLL BY AMERICANS (Rec. 11.45 p.m.) MIAMI, Mar. 20. Germany’s jet-propelled planes have not inflicted the damage the Nazis claimed.” said General Arnold to a press conference. "They have shot down very few of our aircraft. We have shot down more jet planes than expected. Germany to-day has probably more aeroplanes than ever, but no air force because our attacks have practically destroyed the oil industry. Hence German pilots lack proper training and become ‘duck soup’ for our airmen. However, we are getting a little opposition. . , . •‘The Japanese Air Force is also suffering a decline of skilled personnel, many of whom Were.-left on by-passed islands.' 1 /
