WAVELL TO HAVE OWN AIR ARM
(Rec. 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, January 21. General Sir Archibald Wavell is to have his own air arm in the South Western Pacific, consisting of bombers and fighters, says The Daily Mail’s aeronautical correspondent. The force will operate in the same way as the Libyan Air Arm and will co-operate in the closest possible degree with the naval and land forces. The commanding officer will probably be a member of the Royal Air Force. His name will be announced when he reaches General Wavell’s headquarters. .
