The most urgent matter IN nahu

Asks For Repair Ships
Declaring also that the need Tor
aircraft repair ships is becoming
more apparent, Moffett cited the
situation in the Asiatic where the
Navy has no repair facilities and
is "prohibited by treaty from es-
tablishing any such facilities on
shore"
Under the existing arrangement,
aircraft in need of repair or over.
haul is shipped from the Asiatlc
station to Pearl Harbor, HaWaii,
and when the 1,000-plane program
Is further along the situation VIII
become even more acute.
Moffett reported that the LlVe-
year building program authorized by
Congress is progressing satlsIac'
torily.
"The foundations have been Sc
curely laid" Moffett said, "and con-
tinued adherence to this program
will bring naval aviation to its au'
thorized strength in accordance with
the program
He said the bureau views with
satisfaction the progress being
made with civil aviation" 1t is
automatic. he added. that civil
aviation bears the same relation to
naval and military aviation as the
merchant marine bears to the sur
face navy. The bureau is proud TO
have contributed its share to the
advancement of commercial aero.
nautics.'
What They Did
Moffett listed the following as the
outstanding work of the bureau dur
ing the year:
"A new type of training plane has
been brought through the design
competition stage, the flight test
competition stage, and is now In
production. Coupled with this are
two types of light training planes,
one under construction and one de-
livered and under test at Anacostia.
The experimental fighting planes
of last year are in production and
expectations and at least one new
experimental type has already dem.
onstrated its marked superiority
over previous types.
The experimental bombing plane
OF last year has gone into produc.
ton and deliveries to the operating
units are being made.
The flying boat development at
the naval aircraft factory has worked
out very satisfactorily, and with the
installation of air-cooled engines,
gives promise Of satisfactorily meet
ing the requirements of the operat-
ing forces afloat and ashore.
