Try IN The days OF war crisis Il Is said
that we could never have gained the

This nation and the allies, as Is now
well known, were forced TO greatly
enlarge their aircraft program over es-
timates made earlier in the war. But
in the face OF this great crisis Amer

careful analysis OF each of some hun

that training might be given employees
