on the Russian front, due to interna,
ttonal disturbances, enabled Germany
to release large numbers OF her east.
ern front airplanes and TO rush them
to the western front.
The result of this Shift has won.
derfully improved the German air
service in France, according to ex.
perts who have been studying this
branch of the war game.
These experts will tell you that con-
troll OF the air on the western front
is now practically standoff between
| Germany and the allies.
Before l left America, the public
had come to believe that the allies
had virtually blinded" the Germans
in France through a superiority in air
craft.
That was probably true at that time,
but the Russian lull changed the sit.
uation, and now there is vital need
for American airplanes to turn once
more the balance substantially in ia.
vor of the allies.
Air experts tell me that to give
dDSOlule control OF the air TO the al
lies and thus blind" the German ar
mics will require proportion OF five
allied machines to one of Germany.
This ratio 1t is figured out, would
practically make 1t impossible for any
German machine to cross the allied
lines or to mount to sufficient
height behind the German lines to en-.
able the observer in machine to
, do any good.
That Germany is we'll equipped
with airplanes at present is quite ev-
ident. Every few days reports reach
the American camp OF air battles be.
tween French and Germans. In most
cases the number of German machines
engaged compares favorably with the
opposition
And it must not be forgotten that
in the air Germany is trying to cope
with both the French and the British,
who have gone in strong for air SER
vice.
While Germany understands that II
would be terrible blow to her ar.
mics. were she to be driven from the
air. she has a still greater fear of
America sending thousands and thou
sands of fast aircraft into France.
That is that the American machines
might make 1T possible for the allies
to open up lanes" OF air travel into
the hearts Of Germany.
Germans can already picture Berlin
