NAVY SOLVES
WARTIME AIR
CRAFT PROBLEMS

Washington, Dec. 1o.-Success Of
the navy in solving its wartime air
craft problems Ia attributed to the
policy consistently followed Of MAX
ing this work conform to regular ma
val practice Rear Admiral David w.
Tayler, chief constructor, in his an
nual report made public today. say $
aircraft production has been handled
like other departmental technical
questions, and despite the great OK
pansion OF forces necessary, "direc-
ton and control of aircraft questions
have been cared for by officers ia
miliar with the methods Of the navy
| department"
"Civilians," Admiral Taylor con-
! tinues, 'have thus been able to car
ry on their naval work under the
most favorable conditions. This policy
has demonstrated it's soundness. The
types of aircraft developed for pro-
duction have proved successful,
/ changes have been a minimum end
have been adopted only with 4 view
to Improvement"
AS the report was prepared urior
to the cessation Of hostilities, it does
not go into detail on any part IF the
building operations Of the navy. AIS
to aircraft, however, it shows that
both types of seaplanes used by tie
navy are fundamentally American"
improved in design on ritish expert
ence. In October production of the
two main types was in excess Of re-
quirements.
DEVELOPMENT of balloons for naval
purposes also comes under Admiral
| Taylor's bureau. His report shows
| that much experimental work was
| done with types of parachutes. an
! officer of the construction corps nav
! ing dropped from an airship in flight
and from q kite balloon to test the
| design adopted. The same officer al
so successfully tried out a new type
of parachute carrying the basket Cf
the kite balloon and its occupants"
The original plans for the naval
aircraft factory at the Philadelphia
| ward called for 1900. small machines
annually, the report says. In January.
! 1918, however, the navy's require
ments were suddenly expanded and
| the plant was converted.into an as
sembling center with fol times that
! capacity. The original pfeEram max
imum was reached lasE1Aarch and
! the expansion work has now also Been
completed.
Admiral Taylor gives no details as
to the ship construction. AS to The
destroyer program, his most signiil-
cant statement is that the govern
| ment-owned plant at Squant'lm,
Mass, is to be continued as a per-
manent adjunct Of the navy.
