AMERICAN FORCE
is THE WEAKEST
By HARRY HUNT

WASHINGTON. - Congress has
appropriated for the development of
army and navy air services. since

The tangible assets from these
appropriations. as they stand today.

and descriptions. in all shapes and
conditions; one rigid dirigible bal
loon, one semi-rigid dirigble and
27 non-rigid dirigibles. and a pres
ent air force. including fiiers, me-
chanics and supporting personnel OF
22.4s1.
OF the 1o.7s0 planes on hand,
however, only about 1900 are in
present shape for service
Nearly 5000 planes, includins
training planes and planes com
pleted on contracts existing at the
time OF the armistice. are In stor-
age. The majority OF them prob
ably will never see service.
Like the wooden ships of the
Shipping Board most OF these 5000
planes constitute a liability instead
of an asset. as they would require
thorough overhauling or rebuilding
before flying and even then would
be inefficient. dangerous. second
class planes.
In the main-exoept for the ex-
perience gained in our efforts at
wartime airplane production-our
strength In the air may be rated as
the strength developed since the
armistice.
In that period Congress has pro-
vided 135,613,00O for the air SER
vices. And II Is from these appro-
priations in aircraft designed and
built since 1918, that Uncle Sans
present aviation forces have been
developed
OF all the varied types OF army
planes attempted during our war
period, only one is retained today as
OF any value. That is the De Havi-
