installed a new system, after an ex-
haustive development and test period,
designed to provide the Army With
the worlds finest fighting aircraft.

said, to a point where the latest type
planes race along at nearly 300 miles
an hour
The War Department has con-
tracted for 849 planes under the new

livered. The goal is 2,40o planes,
