Right here in America, to-day, are air
planes that have made hundreds of flights.
They can make about sixty miles an
hour.
They aren't equipped with expensive
Liberty Motors or even with Rolls-Royce
motors costing thousands of dollars.
They get their power from two ordinary
Ford engines altered slightly for use in
flying machines
The Washington Times publishes a pic
ture of one of these machines which has
made more than ZOO flights. 1t will car
" two men and at least 300 pounds of ex-
plosives.
John ID. Ryan has just been appointed
head Of the the aircraft program. He
faces a critical problem. Despite immense
expenditures, American factories have
not not yet turned out successful battle
planes. Training planes and bombing
planes have been produced in fairly salts
factory numbers. But bombing planes by
the thousands, not hundreds, are needed to
win the war quickly. The machines Of the
type shown can be built for $1,000 apiece.
For the sum already expended, more than
100000 OF them could have been manu-
